FWIW, you seem to be overthinking this. A cro-mo fork really isn't much heavier than a decent carbon fork with an aluminum steerer (like Alpina) and dampens just about as much road vibration. A lot of people seem to think they won't feel the road at all if they put a carbon fork on their bike.

I happen to think both my BK and my 722 feel smoother in the front end than my Kagero.
how about comparing to the 725 + 806 fork you had? That fork was full carbon wasn't it?
