rear sag/soft fork springs question

texkdx writes:

Now the bad news: even after you get the sag set on your KDX, the bike's suspension will still be out of balance (assuming you are the correct weight for the rear spring). The rear spring rate will be higher than the front. TO fix this, you can do one of two things:

1) replace the fork springs with stiffer springs
2) dial back in about 1/2" more race sag

Please comment on option 2. What does anybody think about that?
