Scott,
Thanks very much for your reply.
It could very well be surface "scratches" that I see a lot on AMGs I have handled. I'll be running mine quite hard, so I'll get some feedback to you guys on that within the next few months.
This is purely a subjective observation from handling and talking to many people with the Gen II vs the AMG. The consensus seems to be the finish is more durable on the Gen II vs the AMG.
Is here any difference in the finish between the two?
It could also be as simple as color. Surface marks probably just show up better against black than they do against the bronze Gen II.
Again, thanks for the response and I didn't mean it as a slight to Vortex. I love the products.
