Personally, I think the square edge profile of the Hope headset gives a better visual transition between the fork crown and head tube. Although I like King stuff, and have used it on other bikes, the rounded edge of the lower cup doesn't look great when scaled up on a 44mm head tube. It sort of floats off the fork, which looks a bit weird. Also, the CK red isn't a good colour match, it's too cherry in tone.
Paint scheme (pretty obviously!) is taken from the Belgian national jersey.
