Fork upgrade

So I am hoping to upgrade the forks on my Handjob soon in conjunction with a frame respray. Currently running 100mm MXC's from 2003 which, to be honest, still work great.
I was thinking though of going for something with a QR15 or Maxle Lite to stiffen the front and give me an excuse for a new set of wheels (the rear crossride is showing signs of wear).
My frame is an older model rated to 100mm and I dont want to go higher than that - seems to work great as it is.
Options seem to be Fox F100, Reba (does the 100mm come with the Maxle?) or possibly (slightly heavier option) Marz 4x WC.
I'd like white lowers as I am am thinking white forks with a bright green frame. Any thoughts? Budget at no more than 450?

Reba Maxle sounds ideal but you may a massive premium for the maxle - the mass produced QR versions are often heavily reduced. Recon Maxles can be had cheaper, and most can be altered to 100mm internally.0

CRC have the Reba Maxle in 120mm for 475 - can that been adjusted down to 100mm?Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0

No probs, just add a 20mm spacer internally - ask them to supply it.0
