IRO Mark V fork has a 43mm rake but they are out of stock...

Assuming your new fork will be slightly shorter than your new fork by...let say...15mm, that 15mm decrease in length will drop the head tube angle by ~1 degree or less. Steeper head tube angle will affect how your bike will handle with your new fork. Running slightly larger tires will change the trail of your bike. The less the rake, the more the trail, the more the trail, the more stable it is. Handling might become squirrely if trail is lessen.

BUT

Does any of those matter to you?
Probably not, because you might not be able to tell your fork is different from your old one.
