Whoa there! You are an engineer so I know that you understand objective vs subjective benefits. I also know that you machinists out there are fully aware that just because a part comes off a CNC does not mean it's exactly the same as the original. There are always different grades a machine work, tolerances, etc. There are also different grades of aluminum and the quality of the anodization that was applied. I'm not saying that the knock offs aren't as precise or as good of quality as the Gilles pieces. I'm all for getting Kraft quality mac and cheese in a "Great Value" box but the quality has to be the same and the price has to be significantly lower. Oh and you might want to check national sales numbers before you claim that Icon is the "little guy".
