I've read a ton of posts here regarding forged vs billet, and many have pointed out that billet had to be made thicker to equal the strength and stability of forged because the hammering process makes forged denser and more uniformly aligns the molecules.
Some have also expressed concern about billet in that if the metal was not properly stress-relieved it could warp after machining. I specifically asked the gentleman at Mega about that very thing and he stated that they "machine these from a solid block of 7075-T6 stress-relieved aluminum plate." That was good to hear and sounds as if Mega is committed to doing things the right way.
