Thanks!
You got it, a 1.3mm change in trail is imperceptable. As a matter of fact, I'd say anything below a 10mm change can't be reliably felt/interpreted.
For those of you that doubt, build the forks and you'll see.

Really though, trail is just a part of the handling equation- wheel base/front center changes have a more pronounced effect.
