You always going to be up against prejudice over the so called 'death forks' unfortunately. I've had several with the alloy forks and never a problem.
But you are up against prejudice here. Prejudice = unreasoned thinking according to my dictionary. Quite true in my experience.

On the other hand, as a buyer you get cheap bargains because of all the bullshit myths: ) I've had many, and as a buyer I know I've had many good bargains because of the bullshit surrounding these frames/forks.

I'd like to hear some positive evidence against these alloy forks.
You'll hear plenty of myths. But no substantive evidence appears...
