I cannot say enough about the oil struts. Yes, I had the donoughts and
converted to the oil shocks. They help you immensely in greasing in smooth
landings and can save your airframe on that accidential hard bounce.  Well
worth the extra money if you are still in the learning curve on landing
these machines.  Also there is a much smoother ride on the ground which adds
to the comfort for you and your passengers.  If you are going to fly your
plane for several years; treat yourself to a great ride and cough up the
extra money for the experience.
