Not sure what your issue is with the Recon. It is a solid fork with adjustable compression, a decent compression damper, and it is dead easy to user service.
Again, what would you consider a better fork for a sub $1K bike? The reality is that a Recon is about as good as you can expect to get.
I can definitely buy a bike with a Reba around 1100€ in Europe. I'd pick an epixon or Axon fork before a recon any day. And an Axon before a Reba too.
