Those won't be rubbish, but they'll be heavy. Steel steerer tube and steel stanchions.
On One have had good deals on Reba forks in the past. They tend to be of the tapered steerer or 15mm skewer variety now though.
The Recons seem to be a good middle ground at the moment. Old Reba technology in them + they're easily home serviceable. If you can stretch to Recons, then get them.
Also, check out reviews on some of the Manitou Minute 29er forks. A few years ago, I would have warned you off. They appear to have improved now.

Those ^ are the bolt thru version. Same stuff inside though.
Good price here.
