I'm afraid that's not a question that _anyone_ can answer for _you_, David. I can tell you that I prefer shorter offset forks with shorter stems, and vice-versa, and also that I have no problem adapting between 44/46mm offsets and 51mm offsets on the same bikes but there are folks who will tell you that switching to a shorter fork offset was a revelation for them. I mean, some folks sound like it's as big a deal as the introduction of hydraulic disc brakes or dropper posts.
If you decide to pull the trigger I'd be curious what the result is for you.
