As you want the damping to be upward, and the piston to move quicker downward - so the shock can recover a bump quicker ready for the next? Anyone else think this too?
If the piston is free to move up, but recovers slower, this I see as a bad thing. Which is how I see it would work the way the piston is assembled in the images. :/

I think that at slow speeds, the valve is not supposed to work, so the piston reacts like your usual RC piston.
The valve should open when facing bumps at speed where the piston speed is high and you don't want pack. (I wonder how it will work on jumps though)
So, unlike RPM 2-stage pistons that had a different damping depending the side and were supposed to be "heavier" on compression, MIP pistons are the same on both ways but "open" instead of packing heavily, like on 1/1 cars.
