Quoted from CaptainNeo:truth of it is, is that they are not really adding powder coated armor. Pros and premiums are black powder coated. IT's just a different color. So there really isn't any extra cost for stern. Cost the same to do black or green. Doesn't matter.
I was told by someone in the Biz.That the pro's armor is cheap China made.LE's armor is Made in the USA and is of better quality.Grade or thickness if I remember correctly.
