Ok, I've now fitted a 650lb/inch Faulkner's spring to the shock. With the preload ring moved to maximum, sag with me on the bike is 31mm 
Although subjective, common consent for rear sag for roadbikes is between 30-35mm, so it looks like this is the spring weight needed to avoid bottoming out.
I'd estimate if you're over 17 stone, or regularly carry a passenger at speed, you may need to fit a heavier spring, such as 700lb/inch to the shock instead.
Some testing tomorrow, a proper workout weather permitting :lol
