[Closed] 1 1/8 fork to 1.5 headset dilema

Ok any help or advice much appreciated here.

Here is what I plan to do.

My current setup is a 1.5 headtube on my frame with a chris king devolution headset so I can run my 1 1/8 forks.
I plan to change these forks and the ones I am looking at have a tapered steerer.

So I am thinking I can buy a new chris king 1.5 inch crown race for the new forks
(£15 off chain reaction). My top headset cup and stem will stay the same.

I guess the questions I have are:

1. Will the chris king 1.5 crown race seat straight in to my devolution properly. I am hoping the only difference in the standard king 1.5 headset and the devolution is the crown race.

2. Is it a silly idea to use forks with a tapered steerer in a frame with a full 1.5 headtube?
Reason is these forks are cheap else I would buy a new set with full 1.5 steerer.
I can't see any issues running a tapered steerer but if there are let me know.

Thanks
