I think he was meaning his observation was a bit obvious - ie wondering if you had realised.

Surely like for like would be replace a 120mm fork with another 120mm one. But check the a-c of course I guess to see how close they are.

Just clicked your second link - you are meaning despite the travel difference are they comparable in terms of performance, weight, stiffness etc?
