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.

Well I did not look carefully enough... the single aluminum bloc is also quoted on the detailed specs for the 120, the 200 and the 400, so my bad.

The only difference remains hand polished for the D Premier and D250.....
