yeah...
I've also bought this disc fork:

and have been using it for a couple of months. It has a 1 1/8 steerer and 370mm axle-to-crown and about 40mm rake. I like it. It's much more direct than the steel fork I had before and claimed weight of 490grams is true.Minus points are:
downward turned dropouts (as opposed to forward facing),
very little room for the rotor (some hub-rotor combinations could be a problem),
max tire size of about 23-25mm,
no holder for the hose (I've used a piece of heatshrink tubing over the fork leg+hose)
and random occurring thoughts of it suddenly disintegrating.

Buy 2 and return the one that gives way on a 85kph descent.
All prepared like a scout.
