I had that fork on a schwinn - one of the mono-stay rears that mimic'd the Klein. I sold the frame and made the mistake of moving the equipment and fork onto another frame, also Aluminum - I think it was a specialized. Again, nasty.
Someone suggested that I'd really like the ride of the carbon fork, so I bought one. After riding it on day, I threw the aluminum fork in the dumpster.
The Vitus itself may ride compliant enough to make up for the fork. I've never ridden one so perhaps you are correct and the frame is soft enough to make up for the fork. Maybe the best choice is to ride and try. I'd stay away from 19 tires though - probably start out with at least 25's.
