New fork: Cut or spacers?

My current (Threaded) steerer tube is 187 mm.

New one is 200 mm.


I'll probably take it to a shop and they'll install it, but thought I'd
ask....


In your opinion, should they cut it down? or should they use spacers.



I figure that 13 mm is about 1/2 and inch.


TIA,

Are you replacing a threaded fork with an unthreaded one? If so, use spacers
so you have more options for future changes of clamp-on stems. If it's a
threaded fork, I don't think you have the option of using spacers...

I have a threaded fork.

I'm replacing it with a threaded fork.

I am changing the headset as well, but it's just another 1" threaded
headset.


I was under the impression that spacers WERE an option...

Why would you use spacers with a threaded fork/headset? You just vary
the insertion of the quill stem.
