Why are we limiting this to one or the other? Why not figure out the best metal and offer brass AND the metal of choice based on our research?
Imeo,
I have an idea. Why not have a pre-order parts sale. Here is what I'm thinking. Think of Dell and how you build a computer...take this concept to the GG line. I would order a GGTS (metal of choice), followed by a button I like, any upgrades, AVS (metal of choice) and so on. You could build your custom GGTS! The price would be higher, but it shouldn't take much to get this done from your end and the suppliers. You could even put a 30 day turnaround so all similar orders can be mass produced. Thoughts? I personally would LOVE this ordering system so I can get exactly what I want without buying a standard GGTS with things I do not personally like (ie brass telescope, aluminum - I prefer SS, etc). I see no downside to this whatsoever...only very happy customers.
The highest grade of Stainless steel that could be used is the way to go and I'm sticking to that as my vote.! that's my Final answer.
