953 Forks

I'm on a waiting list for a new frame (shouldn't be too long now), and will likely spec 953 as it's a treat for my 40th. I am advised that a 953 fork may be flexy in comparison to a regular steel fork, and really only suited to lighter riders (I'm 12 1/2 stone). Aside from the lighter weight of 953, the practicality of a brushed steel fork is appealing as that is an area that always seems to lose paint after a while. Has anyone got an opinion on this?
