Sorry for all the questions. Might just get the Slant.

Depends on what you want out of 32mm or 34mm stanchions.

32mm are light, but "flexy", especially if you do some decent downhill. I don't feel that much flex, but I only have 100mm travel. With 140mm+ I guess it'd start moving about.
34mm are heavier, and supposedly less flexy.

I'll be running 130mm travel, wide ass bars, and a 50mm stem. I still may not be 'knarly' enough to noticably flex 32mm forks. But I'll take the weight penalty for a little more stiffness I think.
