Craig, you are both right and wrong. Keep in mind that Mark was  
referring to a BJ8, not a 100.

Peter @ World Wide did my original shocks for both my 100M and BJ8.  
After buying a '60 BN7 that had the tube shocks, I was impressed with  
the ride & handling, so I switched to the Bilsteins on the BJ8. The  
tube shocks are much better in both ride & handling and definitely  
worth the money on the BJ8!

The 100M does not jump around like the BJ8 did, even after Peter  
rebuilt the shocks, so I see no need to change from the originals on  
the 100.
