I would find the right fork that you like and will work well for you and your needs as I have been saying. Unfortunately I don't know of any custom fork makers who do suspension stuff. Plenty of great stuff out there of course the Fox with the Kashima coating is always nice looking. Better I don't know but it looks snazzy. I am good with my older (but brand new) RS SID XX fork I got on a closeout through the distributor. Though it is a 100mm so probably not for you. I think something like a FOX 34 Performance Elite would give excellent performance for you and in a 140 length should bridge the gap nicely and give plenty of good performance.
