when to replace struts

I've always felt my car rides annoyingly firm sometimes, but since you think your one rides better than an Audi and a Bimmer, I think I don't feel that bad about it.

I see you are in FLA.Come up north and you will know what FIRM is....NY/NJ roads are in bad shape.
 
After all the "preventative maintenance" I've done on my 96 Accord to make sure it's in top shape, I don't think I have to change out the struts yet. The ride is very good and well damped and the bounce test results in 1 bounce...surprising considering the age of the car. When they DO need replacing I will doubtless need at least a month to research what to use as replacements (OCD is a terrible thing).
 
My 22 yr old Cutlass has the orginal front struts, No bouncing, leaks, handles like a dream. It is on its 3rd pair of rears however.
