Set the compression to 15 on one side, 12.5 on the other, reduce the rebound to 7 on both. Then fit some KYBs that are actually sprung and valved for your very light weight.

Summary to you question; no. If the rest of the bike is good - it (fork swap) is worth it. If it is a worn out 12yr old bike then it is not worth it. Start saving.

Week before last I had a great weekend riding my old but rejuvenated 07 which has better suspension than my 2021 beta.
