What grade of paper do you use in your printer as a matter of interest? )

But yes, I would expect the S55 aluminium brace to be significantly stiffer based on the sheer number of attachment points as well as how thick it is.

Adding something in addition to the stock brace appears not to be cost effective if the //Marketing Department aren't trying to sell same.
