Which "Hope" headset?

I'm looking at buying a Kinesis FF29 frame, I have a set of Reba RLT 29er forks with tapered steerer. The spec of the frame states:
- HEADSET: Integrated, 41.8ø upper, 51.8ø lower, for taper head tube. Recommended: FSA No.42/ACB.
- Both bearings are 'ACB', meaning 'Angular Contact Bearings'.
Kinesis recommend the FSA No.42 headset, but I'd much rather get a Hope headset; because it's cheaper, and because all other finishing kit on the bike is made by Hope and I love their stuff.
I can't work out which bottom cup I need to get, I'm fairly certain I need top cup "3"
Thanks.
