Worth upgrading?

Everything I've read about the Rebas so far has made me want them. It does seem kind of crazy to consider spending more on forks than I spent on the whole bike, but crazy can also be a lot of fun!

If you are considering the Reba you might also want to consider SID. I am suggesting them because they are sometimes not that much more expensive than the Reba but lighter and often more tune-able. My SID is no longer the current version, but I think the comparison table below is up to date:

I don't think either is available stock with rim brake bosses any more. If that is important to you I think one of the best, if not the best still available is the Manitou R7. I also happen to have a pair and while not as tune-able as the above they are plenty plush enough (they were considered amongst the bees knees 5 years ago) and fairly maintenance free. They are also relatively inexpensive.
