I would go with a regular Xvert. Pricepoint has them for $149.00.
Universal has the 2000 xverts for $119.00 in yellow.
You do know that a longer fork will raise your front end up and slacken your headtube angle, slowing the steerer a bit.
Btw the Manitou Xverts are my favorite forks ever. I have owned a couple and just ordered another one from Universal.
