The owner of that operation is a character too.

All the hardware on the NFMs are stainless (the interior dogs, etc) whereas I can’t tell but the other two that doesn’t seem to be the case?

My NFMs also have really nice and robust screens.

You won’t be disappointed

Newfound. I installed 8 last year. Follow the instructions. Beautiful stuff, and yes, Richard is . . . Richard. Easy to deal with. The pattern . . . I still have mine - I'm one of "those people," but I figure I paid for it. 4" x 14". I'll be done with it when I slap a couple lights in the Dyer 29.

I replaced all four plastic with Manship and really like them. Not cheap but good quality.

I had Newfound Metal ports in my Wasque, they are 15 years old, don’t leak and look new. They were expensive but worth it.

Thanks for all the input! Will go with new found metals based on quality and lead time.

really appreciate everyone’s input

There is a shop nearby me with 6 or 8 7x15 Perko's for sale @ 190.ea if I recall. They have bronze trim rings and screens with them.
I have bronze NFM's and they have been great but given a choice I'd have the Perkos, they are the real deal.
