One difference could be ability to take a front rack. The one you posted doesn’t say if it can. So probably not specced for it.
If it can I’m ready to swap out my old bbtrack fork for this one.

I'm not sure what makes a fork rated for a front rack or not tbh, can the carbon experts chime in?
I'm not sure if the Fairlight one can take a front rack either, and their website is broken for me most of the time, so I can't check.Spork, Enve Adventure, the one by Allygn (and I'm sure many others) are rated for a front rack, if you're so inclined. Seido also has this one, which is explicitely rated for a lowrider.

In my quest for a 50 mm rake fork with fender mounts at the dropout, integrated dynamo routing and eyelets at the fork crown both front and back, I've stumbled upon Seido, a components company by Bombtrack. They make this fork which would be available at a local shop in two weeks, and seems to fit the bill perfectly.
It would cost me at least 200€ less than the Fairlight Cempa 2.0 I was about to order (and that's excluding shipping).
Is there any important difference I'm missing here?
