I've heard similar thoughts from others, basically they don't offer enough low speed compression and enough high speed digression in the non remote versions so the curves are 'better' in the remote canister dampers they offer. The non remotes act more linearly and produce curves that can be replicated by other dampers for the same price, sometimes less.
They're still good dampers, and I know I'm averse to remote canisters but very few solutions are 'perfect' and with $3k+ on the line people like to be picky.
Also monkey does autocross, high compression at low damper speeds is prized, no aero, 245/255 200tw 'cheater tires' on 17x9, spring rates generally range from 300#-500#
Edit: it feels like mcs holds back their non remote damping to sell the remotes at higher prices since other companies can achieve more compression and more digression without canisters. And to be perfectly clear this is from the perspective of hunting for the very best shock you can get and being nitpicky, the non remotes are still good and are performing above my talent level.
