if you want a decent front brake the Guettler's and a Hombre.

if you want no front brake the MVPs and no brake

so then the only thing it comes down to is weight and since you've bought the Guettlers weigh em with the brake on and compare it to the MVPs with a brake on.

are you bothered about weight or do you want a decent front brake?
infact i'm not sure the MVPs are lighter anyway.

only you can tell us what's important to you.

An AD 990 is going to work much better than a caliper brake...so on that choice, I'd say the Guettler's.

If you're worried about weight, you could always go for a set of the UK Bike Co x RADBMX FBR forks when they finally arrive!
