Converting a 140mm Pike to 150mm

Hi All.
Question. I have a Boardman Pro FS with a 140mm Pike up front and a 130mm Mocarch RT3 Debonair our back. I am looking to potentially do the conversion to 150mm with the kit from CRC. Will the bike feel off with 150 front and 130 rear? Pros I am thinking slacker and more travel but maybe it’s a case of just getting the volume spacers right and an angled headset to slacken it without messing with the balance?
Thoughts appreciated.

For 10mm, just change the air shaft if you want to, no need to going to an angleset to try and pull the HA back.
It won't feel 'off' at all.
In theory you need less tokens if going to longer travel as its already more progressive approaching full bump.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
