I’d go with option 2. if it were me
However, I’d get the Float’s rather than the TALAS’s *
The travel of the Float’s can be reduced internally in 10mm increments, so for the UK could be adjusted, but you’ve still got the option of more travel if you decide you need it.
All this is assuming you’re happy living with a heavier 36mm fork rather than the lighter 32’s.
Personally the weight wouldn’t bother me, being a 90kg rider plus camelbak with spares/tools + water + snacks … half a pound extra on the forks is neither here nor there
(* EDIT: actually, what I’d really do is get 36 VAN’s as I prefer coil to air, and just live with 160mm travel wherever I went)
