driven and been in pauls, and ive got to say they are pretty good 
obviously if sat low on next to no psi your going to be riding on the bumpstops so it'll be bumpy and bouncy
if sat high with high psi it'll feel quite hard/stiff, but if sat at a normal driving height i cant tell the difference between them and a good set of coilovers to be honest.
Pauls set up is a full FBSS set up which means each 'bag is individually controlled, this will eliminate any shifting/movement of air in the system when you corner.

An bag is just a spring with a varying spring rate. At a certain pressure under a certian load you can have whatever characteristics you wish.
This is a bonus of using your coilover struts and sealed bag unit as you can adjust the spring seat.
Say your preferred ride quality was @ 50psi for instance, but this is too low/high for normal driving, with a bag and strut from rayvern its just tough, but with the setup i mentioned you can jack up your motor and fine tune it.
i have a pic of one on a coilover strut somewhere, i'll dig it up

Shit picture, but only one i have left by teh looks of it.
Thats a cheapo lupo coilover strut with an aero sport on, the only thing required to make it fit is 2 steel plates (around £30 laser cut) and you swap your spring seat and locking nut round (or use a grub screw to hold)
The extra advantage is you can remove and refit springs to sell on and you still have the most important part of your air ride

Can't fault ray as he has given us plenty of help with the juice on the saxo.
The ride is like others have said. depends what psi are in the bags and also whether your running 4way or not.

If you don't run 4 way you shouldn't be allowed on the road.

Both lol. Rear bags/dampers only had tack welds that were unpainted and started to rust
