@Dammit - The Enve forks are lovely, but way beyond my budget at the moment. I looked at the Hong Fu tapered road discs too at £70 plus VAT and import tax

But the tapered steerer put me off. I'd not thought of re-brazing a new headtube on a steel frame- might be an option, but I can see costs adding up with labour, frame respray etc.
@drøn - The Pompetamine forks on an All City or similar are an option- similar but cheaper/ easier to source than the Traitor Ruben.
My options seem to be to increase budget or to compromise a little with the forks
