Narrowed my options down to Bilsten B16 & Ohlin R&T

Is the Ohlin R&T worth the extra ~$900 over the Bilsten B16 PSS10 for my 80%/20% street/track use? I’m a beginner track driver and don’t intent on making this a dedicated race car, so not looking for the super high end coilovers.

I'm more performance oriented and can withstand stiffer spring rates. Prefer car planted on the ground vs hopping around just to be more comfortable.
  1. - What’s the cost to have the coilover rebuilt and re-valved?, and how often are people doing it? I’ve seen every 15k miles?
  2. - Do both Bilsten B16 PSS10 and Ohlin R&T need to be rebuilt / re-valved frequently?
  3. - Do both coilovers work with Millway Street Camber plates?
  4. - I believe Bilsten comes with progressive springs. I’d like linear springs instead so will need to factor that cost in.
  5. - Both use 61mm ID springs?
  6. - Both can be quickly adjusted without taking the wheels off?

I’m leaving KW v3 out of the list so the decision is easier unless there is a reason to include them here. I’ve heard their springs are ID 61mm so it’ll need modification to fit other spring options.
