Here's Dtek's reply...

HI Mark,

The Type II anodizing we use is extremely corrosion resistant. You run into
problems when the anodizing is of bad quality and allows the aluminum to
show through weather it be scratches, thin areas, etc.. The benefits are it
is lighter, easier to machine, looks much better and easier to offer a color
variety. I do not think we are losing sales to the aluminum top as a matter
of fact they increased from when we had the soldered copper top. There is
many misconceptions in this industry and one of them is the use of treated
aluminum. If quality is addressed with the anodizing then the aluminum is
every bit as durable as copper. Thanks for your concern and information to
this subject.


Thanks,
Danny
