I have the ex so already rocking 150mm pikes, however I'm thinking of changing to 160mm when they are serviced along with adding the luftkappe upgrade. At the moment the cbinline is the star of the show and outperforming the girl. The forks are bit stiff, when I lose enough air to get small bump sensitivity then they are sagging into the travel a bit too much and sharpening the head angle and of course losing some of the travel.

So it should help along with slackening the head angle to 66.5. Has anybody done this, did you experience notable ill effects for climbing?

If you increased the travel, but also put an angleset in there it may help more.

Also would suggest putting some spacers in the forks, it should allow you to run them softer but also keep them higher in the travel

Adding 10mm won't be that noticeable, I think.
