I'm afraid I can't really offer a fully impartial view as that website👆is mine! Iwould say that the Thorn fork is heavier and they say it is not for off road use, however it does look cooler and have more touring braze-ons.
This is what happens if you hold into it, someone else has to deal with the problem and then it gets auctioned off.

Yeah, looks like someone could pick up a few bargains. I could live with either of those Cinellis so will be deleting all memory of this from my brain immediately.
Where are you riding the bike? Doesn’t sound like an easy enough off road ratio to me, I used to aim for 2:1 + 2 chainring to sprocket, ie: 38:18. You may of course be able to push a harder gear than my pathetic body could manage.
I have the series 8 foil decal left here too, maybe that will work if you only ever squint at it!
