Building a new fork; need input

Hey all,
I have an early 90's Specialized Allez, lugged steel frame with the awful, in my opinion, aluminum direct drive fork. I love the ride of the frame, but the fork is stiff and uncomfortable with dull input feel. I want to build a lugged steel fork for this frame. Here's my question; if I build the new fork with the same spec's as the aluminum fork, will it perform the same? In other words, I'm thinking of using the alum fork as a copy to set my fork jig to build the steel fork.
What do y'all think?
Jay
