New fork ordered - 2007 Fox F80x

Well I just gave in and placed the order for a new fork. I have become spoiled by the Fox F100x on my Truth. I was hoping I would be happy with the SID race on my Nitrous but I just miss the stiffness of the Fox too much. I mainly notice it when I am going into sharp turns in the middle of a dip when I am really pushing it. I just don't feel comfortable with it the way it flexes.

Whats bad is that I used a SID for over a year on my 2001 Gary Fisher Sugar 1 and never had a problem. I also used this particular fork for a little over 200 miles when it was on my Enlightenment and never had a problem. It wasn't until after I rode the Fox and it's 32 mm stanchions and it's automatic lockout that I became spoiled.

Anyway, here is a picture of what it will look like. Only difference is the one pictured is 100 mm, mine will be 80 mm. The only downside to this is that I will be gaining a little weight on the bike. It will be worth it though.
