[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1804874, member: 14585"] A question I often ask to determine which can take more abuse or is better built: What's the shipping weight? If there's a significant difference it's often something harder to see like a heavier frame covered by the same tin. Paint and color can trick the eye, but weights don't lie. I read a couple decades ago that white was a favored color for auto makers, because it was a color that would trick the eye and didn't easily show vehicle manufacturing errors such as trunks or hoods out of alignment. Whereas it would be very noticeable on a red vehicle because the eye can follow the seams better. [/QUOTE]
