I've been lurking on and off for the better part of the last year, quietly oohing and aahing over every new pic. Beauties, all! Finally, I'm ready to pull the trigger; further resistance is futile.
But, which to get?
What are the pros and cons to each of the aluminums and to the ss?
TIA!

Simple answer is just to get one of each

@Rayonati Sloth and @jwat82, thanks for the input. Somehow I knew I'd get mostly pros! All good things to consider.
@Rossum, I'd look pretty funny with a mod in my shirt pocket. Actually, I'd look pretty funny with a shirt pocket (unless it was on the side of a very long shirt). All of my mods leave the house, else they'd get jealous. They ride in a purse, or in a cup holder. Weight is a consideration, though -- and I never remember that until after I buy something!

Ain't nothing a match couldn't handle....Good Saturday morning CC peeps. 7075 is prepped for a grueling day of yard work. I had a bunch of tree work done this week and opted to do the cleanup myself to save some bucks (stupid, in hindsight). So I have about eleventy tons of limbs and branches to cut up, move, and burn. The pile in the pic is one of many. *sigh*
But, I know my CC mods are always up for the task. Me? That's another story. Supposed to be 95 here today with humidity to match.

I have the Aluminum and it's really very - very comfortable to hold all day.
These CC mods are really beautiful pieces of work !

Oh and 6061 aluminum, though not as hard as 7075 and 7068 does not oxidize as easily as 7075 and 7068.

Yeah, but I have to get it all in one place before commencing with the arson. My wife wouldn't be too thrilled with numerous large areas of scorched earth on our property.
Get some beer. Invite some friends over and disguise it as a bonfire party...
She'll never notice....

^this. It's a thing up here to do this with woodstacking parties in the fall. Get everyone drunk and feed them and they'll stack your wood for you (or in this case, burn your fallen trees)
Copper relieving the 7075. This is slow going and it is hot as hell out here. I can't imagine how much more awful this would be if I still smoked cigarettes.
Oh yeah!
Guys - what should I be picking up for my CC beaut? What's this gold ox-it thinger you guys speak of?
