It was Rivendell/GP that brought fork bend into my consciousness. 
I do not think ride quality is noticably compromised by a dog-leg fork 
bend. 
But it was Rivendell who made me appreciate a low tight fork bend as in the 
Nobilette-made fork on the Legolas

to see here)
 
Is the Betty Foy made in Taiwan? 
My Surly LHT was Taiwan made with its dog-leg fork

One of the side benefits of changing the LHT handling with a new fork was 
to get a more aesthetic fork bend

All of this is of the aesthetic of what makes a nice looking bike, from 
this group's perspective.
Fork bend and fender line do not effect performance, but for some folks 
including GP these are important points.
I think Jim Thill's option A nicely explains the current offering....
