My impression was that the '16 forks were 1000x better than the previous ones which I hated.
How much price difference?

"Contrary to public opinion, we don’t hate WP’s 4CS forks. Not because they don’t have attributes worth hating; they do, especially on big landings and in consecutive braking bumps. We have a Rolodex (well, at least the modern cell-phone version of one) full of names of the men who have spent the last two years trying to get WP 4CS forks to work. One of the best mods we have tried involved enabling stock WP fork legs to accept either Kayaba PSF-2 air-fork internals ($1000) or Kayaba SSS spring-fork internals ($1600). We opted to run TBT’s WP PSF-2 air-fork upgrade, even though we knew that when these forks were on the Honda CRF450 they were ghastly. Surprise! TBT’s combination of Austrian fork legs and Japanese internals produced a set of WP forks that were excellent. In the end, we loved the feel of the Kayaba PSF-2 internals in our WP forks. Was it worth $1000? Not when we were forking out the dough, but it sure seemed like money well spent at the end of that long straight full of potholes."
Flip a coin, but I'd do the 17'-
Since shipping to the states is out of the question I can't refer you to the SoCal shops of Shock Therapy, Too Tech, AHM, or Graeme Brough, but they all do excellent work (even on the 4CS). Best of luck on your decision and enjoy the new ride
