Not sure about the Epic forks, but my Inward Hybrid zero offset forks felt horrible. Because they are dead straight it raised my front end and made it feel like I had a really low HT angle. Cant really see any advantages to the zero offset forks beside maybe if you have bars with backsweep, like doing footjams but dont want to turn your bars around or run your forks backwards to do footjams and I dont know if hang 5s ect. Would be easier or not. Id go for the offset personally.
