Fork rake, head angle and axle-to-crown measurements (Trail)

Was messing around with some online Trail calculators, but I could not find one that allowed me to input axle-to-crown and how it would change trail. So, I need some assistance with fork replacement and if this would keep things close/similar.

1) Stock config: head angle: 72.5mm, fork axle-to-crown: 376mm, rake: 45mm

2) Potential config: head angle (same): 72.5mm, fork axle-to-crown: 385mm, rake: 50mm


Possibly with #2 , the front end would sit up a little higher (which I don't mind), but otherwise am I correct in figuring that because of the increased axle-to-crown the 5mm of rake difference won't be all that noticeable? Basically, I don't want to screw up my handling.

Thanks.
