i just received a specialized frame with integrated system and asked a similar question a few weeks ago. i also called cane creek with the same question. Specialized uses the IS standard from what i've been told and suggested I can choose between the IS-2, IS-6, IS-8.
I didn't call FSA or other companies to confirm campatibility and didn't want to take a chance so I stuck with getting a Cane Creek. I haven't been able to mount it yet since I still have to go to the LBS and have the crown race fitted on the fork. But the sealed bearings seated in the headtube.
