Threadless in your case is definitely much cheaper and much fewer headaches.
this is totally wrong. it cost me 30 bucks at my LBS to have my fork threaded and cut down to the right size, and it only took them a few hours to do it. It was really easy and inexpensive and I got to use a stem that I liked.
