That is not exactly true. There is more to using the right size bag for a particular vehicle then simply what will fit and the same goes for air cylinders. If you run too large of a bag or air cylinder, it won't take much pressure to lift the vehicle, but it will be too soft of a ride. And the opposite goes for too small of a part, take for instance an S-10 with a 255c or comparable bag, it takes 100 psi to lift to ride height, but a 224c sized bag only takes about 60psi. Air cylinders get a bad rap because they are not a regulated DOT part, so cheap ones are available. Bags on the otherhand are all DOT regulated and even the worst ones still work well.
I know that you weren't trying to start a debate, but I'm not debating. Bags and cylinders both have the same potential to ride nicely, actually the cylinder falls short only because of it's inherent "stiction" (look it up)
