Rob, thanks for the interesting report on your trip to the NAMM show. 

One small item that I would to add a different opinion about is the question of
action rail material. I don't think that extruded aluminum action rails are
necessarily superior to wooden ones in their various forms, e.g. laminated.
Aluminum can have its problems as well, such as stripped flange screw holes,
unwanted noise and perhaps other issues. 

I agree. I have yet to meet the metal rail (of any material and/or
configuration) that I like as well as a simple laminated beech or maple rail.
 
The laminated rail is stiffer, quieter, at least as stable and is easily
reparable.
