I'm going through this thought process atm too, finding it's barely worth it going for carbon over a straggler or similar fork, weight savings aren't much and the drop in functionality is quite large
I was planning to keep my steel fork and switch between the two so I'd be fine with the functionality; it'd just be for road days.
I guess I should weigh my current fork though and see how much difference it's going to make first.
