Switching to Solid Fork???

I am thinking of switching to a solid fork, mainly because mine is low quality and heavy so hoping to lose weight/gain some pedaling efficiency.


I measured my "crown to axle" and came up with about 17.5" exactly (sorry for the lousy pic, it's tough to hold the camera and the tape measure at the same time). This one I found on Amazon is 430mm which is about 16.92".


Will I notice the 0.5+" difference in my geometry? I am not sure if this is one of those things where fractions of inches matter or not.


Thanks!
