Adjustable versus Non-Adjustable shocks?

I was told that an adjustable shock (like koni or KYB) on the lowest setting would be almost exactly the same as a non-adj. shock (like tokico blues) with regards to ride? Is this true?

I am looking for the best ride, so I figured an adjustable shock would allow me to make the ride nice and soft. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to get a set of KYB AGX Adjustables, but I was told that on the softest setting, they would be very similar to a non-adjustable shock. Anyone know if this is true?

Are you saying that the non-adjustables would probably be equal to almost stiffest setting on the adjustables?
