Adjustable damping is a nice feature, but honestly it's not as important as I thought it would be before owning T2s. Keep in mind my experience with T2s is my first experience owning adjustable dampers, so I am far from an authority. But to me it's MUCH more important to have the proper spring rate and matched damping than have adjustability. IMO once the damping is properly matched to the spring rate there shouldn't be much need to adjust it anyway. Especially if you're going to the track once or twice a year. I get in about a dozen days per year on tracks.
Did you try running the T2's near full soft? I've found them to be reasonably comfortable doing that with the stock springs. For me double adjustability is nice, but being able to change ride height is more important. Don't think I could go back to shocks and springs simply because of that.
