I made a set of forks for mine that attach differently than the regular clamp ons, that have been on my tractor almost constantly since I made them. Now they only come off if I'm doing dirtwork. I have even less lift capacity than you, so I was even more concerned with loss of lift capacity. My forks are a bit bouncy if you put weight out on the tip, but otherwise they're pretty good vertically and solidly mounted against movement horizontally.

If you are going to use the forks only occasionally , the clamp on style should work fine. If you will use the forks frequently, I suggest going with the QA style. I have a set of the clamp on style and they work well but I move things infrequently and for short distances. The clamp on style are easier to store and take up less room. That is a nice benefit if you use them only occasionally.
