So first of all, is a suspension fork worth it if you are mainly touring around
If you're touring on asphalt roads? Not at all.
If you're riding mostly/all off pavement then it makes sense, but a suspension fork for an all-on-asphalt ride is worse than useless - it's extra dead weight and contributes nothing.
