There are several reports of 38s with creaky CSUs. Fox supposedly made the steerer internally ovalized to avoid this, but the shitton of torque those 38mm stanchions delivet to the steerer/crown interface is simply too much.
So they made a fork to make the CSU creaking a thing of the past, yet said fork still suffers from said creaking...
As you say Andrew, there's much more than just stiffness when it comes to how a fork handles.
