Aw jeez.
If it's what you want, it's fine.
The F3 is also longer by about 2mm than the F2 fork it was originally designed to use. The differences are small and incremental.
You possibly bought the fork at a discount out of curiosity.
Satisfy the curiosity.
Ride it.
The difference is there, but it is small. If you don't like it, change it back.
You might also find that you would ideally want a firmer or softer fork.
In that case, you could order another F3 and choose both the offset (sometimes formerly known as rake) and the firmness level.
Enjoy, and pay attention to what you feel.
Part of the enjoyment of cycling, at least for me, has been finding out what I like, and not simply accepting what someone tells me is the best. That's heresy, and I'm a heretic. If you feel the same way, I'd consider you a heretic as well.
I'd love to hear your riding impressions after you try the new fork for a while.
