Those things are not light - it weighs the same as the budget, alloy steerer(ed?) Ritchey fork it is replacing.
One does not buy Wound-Ups for their weight :)
They are hefty because of their six peice bonded construction.

Doesn't mud clearance become less of an issue with disc brakes?
Full hydro disc brakes are pretty awesome.

@Jon.
I may be tempted to go custom next time I'm in the market for a cross frame, if just to specify a rear triangle with ridiculous mud clearance. Other than that I think I'm a traditionalist so it'd be pretty much mk. 1 with cantilevers.
Just picked up a wound up cross fork from eBay. Those things are not light - it weighs the same as the budget, alloy steerer(ed?) Ritchey fork it is replacing. Nice ride though.
