Metal Plates

I know that Dave Slagle likes Copper GM70's, but I have metal plate 212's and various graphite plate versions/equivalents.

The metal plate comes second to one particular graphite version (AR300) by a large margine. It is better than all the other graphite's overall, but does have some shortcomings (slight lack of focus the main one).

It will be interesting to see how the metal plate 845M turns out. I have a hunch that poor construction quality would stand out more.

I have now tried the Russian graphite GM70 and prefer it to the original Chinease 845 before they sorted out the support rod problems. Haven't had an opportunity to try copper yet. GM70 is of course a much better price.
