Thanks for teh re:s! I've heard great things about the all-brass version, but I'm wondering if the ss+brass version's comperable, performance-wise. I'm thinking about the mixed version since I'd rather not have to deal with brass upkeep (at least, not as much- it's a first mech mod and I'm not sure how ...diligent w/r/t maintainence I'll be) and since steel's more resistant to damage (I'm somewhat clumsy)
