I may be wrong but I suspect the spring and damper rates that were developed for the heavier Aero 8 , have just been carried over onto the lighter +8 .
Therefore it will "bounce" more than the Aero 8 does, nothing that a bit of development with changing springs and dampers cannot cure, but perhaps annoying that it is not optimised.

Each time I have test-driven an Aero I have been very impressed by the ride over poor road surfaces, mind you that is in comparison to my trad +8.

I was once travelling along the M20 at pretty high speed trying to outrun a Javelin train along the high speed track adjacent to the motorway, just before the Leeds Castle exit. I was delighted to see an Aeromax coming up behind me fast. Accepting that my top speed was vastly inferior to his, I pulled over, and let him go past. As he went by, I was intrigued by the amount of vertical movement on the wheels, especially the rear. On a flat motorway surface it was going up and down a lot over each of the "joints". My +8 with its live axle suspension was hardly moving but I did feel a slight jolt over each joint , but the driver of the Aeromax was probably well isolated from the road imperfections.
