All I know is that I have the Nashbar on my group buy IRO and it's wonderful. Takes a pound off the weight and feels great. I don't exactly bomb stairs on my bike, but feels solid so far.
Edit: the only pic I have of the bike here at work - obviously mid-assmebly and a terrible phone camera photo, but it doesn't look massively out of place on a steel bike I think. In all honesty, I like the look more than the stock fork.
