If you're not varying the sapcing at the back by much, you don't need to cold set it. You can just bend the forks out by hand when you squeeze the hub in, it won't cause any lasting damage. I ran a 126mm frame with a 130mm hub for ages, no worries.
That said, it makes changing the tyre a bit more of a nuisance, so I'd still go down the re-spaced 120mm hub route.
