Fork Rake question

I am about to start a Cinelli build. The fork that came with the frame is a 45deg. Tusk fork. I have an Easton EC90 SLx fork that I would like to use, but it is a 43 deg. rake. What would be the effect on handling, ride characteristics, etc... if I were to use the Easton fork? I suppose the stock 45deg. fork was matched to the frame based on geometry specs? Should I just use the original fork?
Thanks.
