Road Fork recomendations?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Road Fork recomendations?

Going to replace my current fork, its too short at the headset. I have looked at the Easton EC70 with aluminum steer tube and it looks good. Anyone have experience with it. The Reynolds Ouzo Pro looks good also but is much more expensive. I also like the Alpha Q all carbon but its pricey also.
I have a Felt F2C and I am 218 pounds so it needs to be strong, thats what is pushing me towards the Easton.
Thanks

Alpha Q Z Pro which is made for big riders or the Alpha Q FX which was developed for the rough roads on pro tours.

I've noticed that all 4 of the full-carbon forks I've owned have been more comfortable than the carbon forks I've had with steel all alu steerers.....if that means anything to you.
