Hey, just my opinion based on the question you asked...
Ever seen a badly made TIG frame by one of these new frame builders with no experience? Compare that to something like a Firefly or Seven or IF. There’s no contest. A well built TIG frame is not the same as a poorly built TIG frame. Why bother with ‘hand made touches’ (if you’re referring to fillet brazing) when they can’t be seen under paint? Heck, there are some cowboy builders who don’t even file their fillets nowadays and just paint straight over them!
