Looking for which fork to put on my new DJ bike, and it's come down to these three. I definitely want a white fork (yes I'm a tart), and although most places seem to say the 409 is mint only chainreactioncycles in the UK appear to be selling them in white? I don't know if this is a mistake on their part?
Oh, and why are the white ones £40 cheaper than the green ones??

From what I can see the arglye weights include steerer, so that's
5.25lb for the 409
5.67lb for the 318
6.3lb for the dirtjumper1s
Obviously the 409 achieves this by being an air fork. Is that going to turn out to be a bad thing? Will they last, or am I better off avoiding the air option?
Which would you get, assuming they were all three the same price, and all available in white?

I asked him to comment on the review that was posted on 7th March where someone hints that the white ones are demo used, and he assured me whatever I buy from them will be brank new...
