One thing I dont like is to use an alloy like some high PD types that require you to sand blast after oxidation.
Higher prices isnt really a factor for me because its been an incentive for Drs to use all ceramic.
Also I love the return on the scrap!!!!
I agree with everything you mentioned on the alloys! One thing I can recommend to you is ask your Ivoclar rep about the HN Evolution Lite alloy. This is a 40% gold (high noble white color) that works just like the "W" and costs over $100 less per ounce! The Evolution Lite also has a lower density, so you will get an extra coping (or two) on every ounce!!!
