It's definitely the black ano!

No jk. It's mostly the alloy. 7075 has over twice the tensile strength of 6005. (Based off of strengths I found here http://alcobrametals.com/guides/aluminum) I think the cross-section of the thunderhex is also stronger but that probably has a smaller impact than the alloy.

(And Allen beat me to it...)
