I recommend dropping the fork and taking a look. I just went through this exercise and was surprised how little lubrication was in the original bearings. It is fairly easy to clean the bearings, re-lubricate and reinstall. If you've never done this before it's better to learn on this headset than any new expensive upgrade you might talk yourself into. By the way, I tossed the cages and old bearings and reinstalled new loose balls. Eliminating the cages allowed me to install 14 additional ball bearings; 7 top and 7 bottom.
