Here's another metaphor . . .
Three half dollars is more than one dollar. But a dollar a half dollar will never be.

Rule # 1 in retail:
Sell
What
We
Have
On
Hand
But never disparage another product to do so.

Actually, it's not so much the price difference. It's the performance difference. Negligible in one instance, significant in the other. Research it.

F you all. My shit is all silver.
I was waiting for someone to mention this. Silver is the best (metal) electrical conductor available, but copper is a very close second. Copper was chosen as the standard because silver is roughly 100x the cost per oz. (Today, it would appear that Silver is trading at $317/lb and copper at $3.28/lb.) This is only logical. However, copper is still a compromise when compared to silver. Put that in perspective.
The only scientific method to compare OFC vs. CCA is to eliminate every other possible variable, which is exactly what Tony D' has said he will do. When you do that, you can absolutely do the math AND the real world test and arrive at similar results. Then, it will be up to the viewer to decide whether or not the money saved will justify the performance lost. The idea of wiring a vehicle with both and comparing results in some fashion is not a scientific way to compare two conductors because of the many additional variables introduced.
Finally, no engineer in their right mind sets out to design a product at which the user will intentionally handicap its performance. However, a good engineer will design fail safes to prevent product failure when that does happen (which is more often than not).
Sometimes these kinds of debates can be more productive when you're not emotionally tied to it. When you drop your guard and allow another person to teach you something, you will profit.

You guys crack me up. Now, think about this for a second. You can't cheat the laws of physics - I mean, they are laws and not just some really good ideas. Value isn't accepted in physics, and for good reason. If you take the square root of 16, you'll always get four. There is no less expensive version of 16, just 16.
Debate is healthy.

Let's just say that you had access to two engines. One engine made 400hp and one made 500hp. The 500hp engine costs more money.
There would be no point at which one could say that the 400hp engine was superior to the 500hp engine, assuming horsepower was the only metric. However, one can rationalize why the 400hp engine is a better value but that still won't make it a 500hp engine.
How does that apply to this argument?

Well then I say that you show conclusive evidence of any theory you'd like to prove. Personally, I think Tony D' would welcome it.
Keep in mind, many of the things discussed in this thread are indeed scalable.

Wow . . . Second Skin coming through big again. Jump on this deal while you can!

Yeah, like mine! That's the main reason I don't drive it in the summer here . . . it's like being in an oven.

This also went out via Email to all SMD Members - so be sure and take advantage of this sale!
I don't get any emails. Not from sonic, ss, anything. Haven't blocked or junked any emails as, why would I? But in all honesty, some of us just...don't get the emails.
You may have to check with your mail provider to be sure that mail from "SMD Forum" isn't getting caught in the spam filter. Keep in mind, you may have to actually look at the spam filter online to see if it's getting hung up there. We typically send an Email out once a month or so . . .

It seems like yesterday that I got a call from a giggling Steve Meade about a demo at which some "chick's eye popped out" . . .
Success is always about timing. Steve, your timing has always been excellent.

In my world, this would be one helluva' tool! Matt, if you can't sell EVERY single person that gets that demo, something is seriously wrong. BE SURE and use the words "leading competitor" and never the brand name of the other alt.
