"However, It was posed to me that I should just change to upgraded springs and change the oil and it would achieve equivalent results after some adjustments"
If all it took was a change in spring rate, oil weight and height...then that's what Honda would have done.
Modification kits have been around for decades (gold valve)....they help, but are band-aids, not new technology.
Every review I've read about the Showa dual bending valve forks has been favorable- both on our Honda's and the Harleys.
My personal experience has been that they improve the ride with no downside.
Buy em, swap em, sell your stock forks.
