The original levers are cast so I figure if they snap then any casting will. There is a great difference in quality I agree so a cheap casting will be weaker. As for the fake pazzo's I am not so sure they are cast. The weight is too heavy for that. Billet alluminium is forged from an original casting thus is more dense and heavy. I guess the only sure way of knowing is to break one of the cheap ones and check. Cast will have a very crystaline porous structure as apposed to billet which has a very dense one. Anyhoo I got the shorties just to be safe!
Smoke me a kipper I'll be home in time for breakfast
