Has anyone had any experiences with aluminium screws as that can save another 7g?
Why would you put aluminium screws in your bottom plate, that's the lowest the weight can get. I have Titanium screws in my bottom plate, aluminium in everything else, except the topdeck. I like to detweak (or check the tweak) quite often and choose titanium screws in the topdeck.
