Fox shocks now have a base valve piston?

[Hasty]

Ford press release says that the new Ford Raptor 3" Fox Shocks now have a base valve piston. Would someone with knowledge of shocks care to share the benefits/drawbacks of this? From the media I've read it seems like all the 3" shocks should have this as it makes for a more compliant ride???

Excerpt from Auto Blog
"It features a 3.0-inch diameter body with a base valve piston designed to lower gas pressure. This gives the truck a smoother ride over rough terrain."
