Was a great ride, but it lacked lateral stiffness which you could really feel. Very flexy. But more importantly, aesthetically it looked wrong - Ti tubing diameter is just too great for a 1 1/8th steel fork.
The Falz IMO is a perfect middle ground between a steel fork and stiff carbon fork. Very, very happy with it and wish I'd just gone for that in the first place.

Went through the same process on one of my Moots.
WoundUp carbon - great handling but so stiff
Custom853 steel - definitely less stiff, more bump absorbent, but slightly stuffed up the geometry!
Whisky carbon - settled on this for now, compliance/stiffness just matches the ti frame well (rider weight is factor in all these alternatives) plus lighter and better looking than the other two
whilst it on topic - what were your thoughts on the steel fork and their merits? still need to get mine sorted
