What is the perfect suspension for a TTRE?

After 8000k on my RE I miss the suspension on my previous R. It was much better / more comfortable for long and fast rides on bumpy roads. In particular the Ohlins at the rear was a gem. I miss the Ohlins A LOT! I could easily do 600k in a day, but now I get blisters after 300k.
On the other hand I like the RE's lower seatheight and both my heels on the ground.

What is the perfect suspension for a RE without changing the seatheight?
I'm willing to spend some cash.

I'll appreciate all inputs on this. Thanks!

I am currently swapping my RE suspension for TTR suspenders front and rear, Im tall so the hight is not too much problem for me.-also they look much sexyer with the better suspension!
Just my two pence worth!
