Fork on Blur LTC

I've got a Santa Cruz Blur LTC which has my old Van 32 140's on at the moment, with an old school QR (is this 5mm?).
I've decided that I need to buy something more interesting, with a little more travel as it feels steeper at the front than my old LT (v1). SC also recommend a longer fork.
I'm thinking about a 36 Float (or RC), but I'm open to recommendations. The requirements are as follows:
1. Doesn't weigh a ton;
2. 150mm+ travel;
3. Some kind of bolt thru.
I ride fairly fast, mainly up the Lakes. I've always liked coil shocks but want to keep the weight down.
Any ideas, what do people have on their 140mm travel AM bikes?

I'd look at the Rockshox Revelation Team with Maxle:

Fantastic weight, great adjustabilty.0 -
I am absolutely loving my 150mm Rev Team. Barely any heavier than my 08' model quick release Revelation, despite the maxle and the 20mm greater travel, a little bit stiffer again despite the extra length, and it's got better tyre clearance and nicer damping to boot. Spendy though if you buy a new one.Uncompromising extremist0
