Cheers for the info on the videos on the Hope site, lph! I used it to see how you properly install a Hope headset, esp the Head Doctor (HD) thing. Tbh I can't see the advantage of the HD over a star nut except it is easier to install and it goes in straight. Once you get a star nut in it will stay there, one has stood up to Belgian cobbles, roughstuffing, and 1.5 CX seasons without any problems at all, while the bolt holding the HD together can loosen...
Oh and well done on the hub servicing. Satisfying isn't it?

A star nut is there just for assembly. Once the stem is clamped onto the steerer, the star nut's job is done. (Except if it is used to mount a bike computer, compass, or other trinket.)
