I bought the moss tube shock conversion for my 73 simply because it was a lot cheaper.  lever shocks can be made to perform as well as tube shocks by adjusting the oil and the damper valve.  before I replaced mine, which could hold oil for maybe a mile, I put in gear oil (90 wt) just for grins.  suspension was absolutely rock hard until it all bled out

I don’t think there is anything wrong with tube shock conversions, but I wouldn’t expect any massive improvement, either. 

New shocks will seem an improvement over old shocks, either way.

I went with a telescopic shock conversion 25 years ago, but that was because it was half the cost of new Armstrong dampers. I do not believe that is the case at present. My new project is getting lever shocks as Abingdon intended.
