which fork would you guys buy? both are about the same price, same weight, etc. this would be going on my caad9 I weigh 205lb.
I want to lean towards the Alpha as it's been around quite a bit longer, but the Edge products are top notch....

I have the edge 2.0 on my Caad9 (got it painted to match). I really like the feel of it, plus it's pretty light.

Edge - I have yet to hear a negative review of them, and all their other work is super-awesome.
If you are going to spend more than $125, I can't think of any non-aero fork I'd pick over the edge 2.0

Alpha uses a glued alu insert instead of the traditional plug. It works well but pretty much fixes your steerer length once installed. May or may not affect your decision. I don't know what Edge forks use.

Remember that the GS20 has about a 5mm longer height, and comes in some different rakes so that may affect your decision depending on what trail you are looking for.
