I have pretty much the same setup, my fronts are dialed in at
like 2 or 2.5 (out of 4 I believe ) and the rears are set closer to firm than soft and still get a little bouncing on well traveled roads with dips. I removed my rear 19mm sway bar but kept the Neuspeed reinforced brackets and that seemed to help.

My understanding from Ryan is that the adjustment doesn't affect low speed *only*.
They shocks give you the ability to fine tune low speed dampening, but if you look at a damper curve, you'll see that the entire line shifts when you make an adjustment. Is this incorrect?

No, you're correct...
But notice on a generic digressive graph that the line will jump way up and then taper off... when you're talking about higher speed shaft movements that are way out on the graph (like a pothole) there isn't much change.
Keep in mind we're talking about Konis which are junk anyway

Yes, but we're not talking about potholes...
Actually, it's the midrange shaft speeds that pose the greatest problems. There are no issues on relatively flat highways, and no issues on bumpy local roads. It's slight dips in the road, taken at speeds of 45 mph and higher. The front end seems to use more suspension travel than it should.

Sounds good........
Saturday afternoon may be ok. I thing the garage sale is from 8-1. Anything else I "need"? Did the 710N's last week. F-hose maybe? ECS can get things here in 1 day. Oh, and I got some nice new florescent lights for the garage for you! Give me a call and we'll figure it out.

Not much you guys can do about that...
you'll leave some on the table if you start cranking down the rebound to take care of that weird bounce... maybe ask Ryan if he can build a pair of shocks with a thinner compression stack, but with more preload. Maybe an extra bleed hole would take up the gap from that change?
Not even sure those adjustments can be made to a koni. For all the development Stasis has already had with Koni and their shocks I'd be willing to bet they've exhausted that option.
