Sensor 4.0 forks options?

Hi there, I’m hoping for a little advice. I recently bought a GT Sensor 4.0. I’m reasonably happy with the bike, but I have a conundrum; I have a 2008 Boardman Team MTB, this has Rocksox Reba SL forks fitted. At the moment these forks are set to 100mm of travel but I recently found out that by removing a spacer from inside the fork leg these forks can be converted to 115mm of travel. Are the Reba SL forks significantly better than the 120mm Suntour Raidon forks fitted to the Sensor? Should I fit the Reba SL forks to the Sensor, and if I do will the loss of 5mm of travel be noticed?
I have already swapped out the wheels (Ritchey Pro OCR) and brakes (Avid Juicy 5’s) from the Boardman to the Sensor. My other option is to sell the Boardman and put the cash to a Fox rear shock. Opinions please? And thanks in advance.

Fit them and ride! See how they feel. Best way to judge.
On paper the Reba is the better fork, but always test if you have the chance.0 -
