Yes, I am really a fan of lower pressures for more comfort. The ride is just softer and provides better grip too. I started biking in MTB and got very comfortable with 10-12 psi range on my mid fat hardtail with 3.0 inch tires. Also, I have used the stem shock for several years on 3 different bikes. My set up is to use the elastomers that are the ones either recommended for my 180 # or one level softer, as if I weighed slightly less, to provide best effect. Of course, the stem shock needs to move to provide the softening. I don't think that I have ever hit the end of the movement on the stem shock--at least that I am aware of and I ride 7000 miles a year--so I doubt that is an issue.
