Forks - 'axle to crown' heights

Hi all, been looking around on the web to try find some axle-to-crown heights of some forks so I can further judge what I might replace my forks with.

I know all rough logic and on my bike I have a good inch and half of spacers underneath my stem... I wouldn't mind having a fork with a longer axle to crown height, (with potentially more travel), this way I can slacken off the geometry slightly from the current setup and increase the BB height a tiny amount (I can then do away with some or all of my spacers and retain roughly the same body position on the bike....
So question is, heights on some of these, (I have an 08 Talas RLC and don't even have a height for that without getting the tape measure out)....

Fox Talas RLC
RockShox Revelation Dual Air 426
Rockshox Pike

...any others suggested??? ...also it would be good to have a comprehensive table of these for common forks for anyone to help compare them??
