Easton Carbon areo fork or leader carbon fork?

Which would you choose for a leader 725?
Full carbon Easton Aero Blade Fork or a Leader i806TR v2(v1) Carbon fork? Why? The leader v2 is significantly lighter than the easton, but is that a good thing? (325g vs 181g)

I've always felt that carbon takes more shocks and bumps.

You forgot about the only thing that matters; rake.

Alpina F-04 is awesome too.

ryan - Squirelli is right, rake is really important and I can find any info on what the rake is on the Easton fork. Personally, I'd choose the Leader fork a sit is specifically designed to work with that frame. I have one on my 725 and it's really nice.
