Rockshox Tora 302 vs Raidon x3 Forks

I am thinking of selling a 2005 Hardrock Sport Disc and replacing it with a Voodoo Hoodoo. Overall the Hoodoo is a better specced bike, and crucially much lighter which is my main reason for replacing the very heavy Hardrock. However, I'm concerned that I may be downgrading on the forks, as I have replaced the stock forks on the Hardrock with Rockshox Tora 302s; the Hoodoo has Suntour Raidon x3 forks. I don't do anything hugely technical, will I notice a difference between these forks? Should I keep the Toras, sell the Raidons? I can't make head nor tail of the bewildering array of Suntour forks to work out how good the x3s are.

Thanks in advance!

    Raidon is at least as good as the Tora.
