Second on the ritchey wcs headset. I'm not sure what the exact retail is on these but they might be close-ish enough to a chris king to consider that as well...maybe not. I switched out a low-end sealed cane creek with a king and it upped my confidence in the bikes ability to take holes and bumps like 2000-fold. The ritchey would probably give you a similar feel. Either way, don't go cheap cheap.
