I have Bilstein on the rear, originals on the front. I initially thought the Bilsteins were a bit firmer, but I don't notice it now. None of the roads I drove on worried me at all.

I understand that Chris sourced CVDs marketed by Bilstein directly rather than from LR. If Bilstein indeed produce the LR L322 CVDs as people suggest then they could have still different valving and therefore provide a different ride. However new shocks will hopefully always feel firmer than a tired set so it would be hard to determine if any ride differences were due to just being new or due to different valving. I don't look forward to paying for LR CVDs so hope that Bilstein branded ones provide pretty much the same ride. My D2 experiences with Bilsteins make me wary of them.
Mine are just the ordinary ones, not the flash computer controlled ones.
Graeme is correct re mine - its not that they are firm - the ride is really good !!!
Its just the road out there are crap - like a patchwork quilt. At times I was moving in my seat all over the shot....
cheers
