Stiffer is better for forks, particularly if you're large and ride the tech hard, like Geoff is and does. I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses the stiffer fork for handling reasons, he also used to be one of the only guys racing on riser bars when everyone rode flats. Probably not much weight penalty vs. a 32.
Also, marketing. Thats his job.
