1998 V70 Shocks and Struts Koni or Bilstein? V70-XC70 1998

Are you unhappy with the handling as it is? My only reason for asking is that you indicate a slight bias toward ride at the expense of handling. From what I have read on these threads, the aftermarket performance struts are more for handling at the expense of ride. I think the OEM units favor ride over handling. Shocks/struts are an expensive proposition to take a chance on. Perhaps Koni's are the way to go as they at least advertise that they are adjustable. I don't have any firsthand experience with this but I have read of a few BBers who got the Bilstein HDs and can't live with the ride.
