Yeah, I don't see any reason to pay 2x the price for fancy looks; I'd have gotten these this year if we hadn't ordered our gearboxes on kickoff.

I've never had any problems with AM gearboxes with aluminum cases, and I've used loads of them over the years. I find their plastic ones are unsatisfactory, though.
