I don't think this have been mentioned lately but stiffening up the fork for disk has to change the handling. I will test the limits so I know what to expect. We have a Roubaix that under heavy braking from speed with the rear lifting the fork would oscillate side to side very much like my track car would dart on hot race tires at the limit. It is probably small enough not to matter at anything less than max brake but I suspect without proof there is a diff. With beach cruiser size tires so popular that would swamp the feel so probably not an issue but something to keep in mind.
