I got 2nd draft brackets in today and measurements are good, so I'm working on finalizing the brackets for production next (and coughing up money o_o)

Right now, I can get everything made in 6061 aluminum at the $800 price , but would have to add $100 to have the brackets made in 7075 aluminum. It all feels like overkill, but I myself kind of want 7075 just to know it's that much stiffer and stronger.
Would anyone prefer the lower price point and 6061?
Thanks

EDIT:
Have heard that 7075 may be better for the hats and 6061 for the brackets. Finalizing this over the weekend.
