If it were my money, I would buy the Alpha Q, and forget the Easton. Just my .02, though.
The older Easton EC90 was a crappy fork (too flexy, chatters on the brakes and wanders in the corners, but it did look really cool). I am sure they have improved it with the SLX, perhaps to the point that it is a great fork, but the old EC90 has left such a bad taste in my mouth, I would never buy one or ride one if I had other options.
I do not know of any one riding the SLX, yet I know of many riders who have nothing but praise for the Alpha Q.
