From the website cut and paste:

Chassis carved out of a single aluminium block


Is aluminium a special alloy, French for aluminum, or a typo?  

for which model do you get this?

Because my understanding is that the D Premier and the D 250 are different from that perspective than the D200 and D120.

if you look at the remote you can also see a difference.

I'm finding the quote about a single aluminium block on the D800 or D250 pages but not on the 400, 200 nor 120.

I know that for the 200 and the 120 they used solutions that are less expensive to manufacture: for instance the shapes do not have the curves of the D-Premier D250, but instead flat surfaces that are easier and less costly to manufacture.

It is very possible also that they went for a material less expensive for the D200 and D120 (brass based alloy with aluminum coating explaining what Manoet analysis is showing) while the D Premier and D250 are a solid bloc of aluminium miled and hand polished....

Just an hypothesis, but that would make a lot of sense to me.
