Sorry for bumping an old'ish thread, but I'm checking myself to see if I'm going senile: did I just make it up in my head, or was Aji thinking of making a titanium (**not just coated**) version of the N075? I'd kill for a N075 base plate in Ti, at least.
Also, regarding the N075 Al hardcoat base plate, mine has a spot on one of the guards where the hardcoat is worn/chipped. I am fastidious in taking care of my gear, but it makes me ask: is there simply a lifespan when it comes to these coatings, or does a wear spot/chip like mine only come as a result of an impact of some kind? I swear, I cannot recall any kind of fall/scrape/whatever that would explain the wear on mine. I think I was one of the first customers who bought one from his initial batch when officially released, last week of May 2020.
Just thought I'd ask here before I snap a crappy iPhone pic and send to Aji, who I know is constantly busy.
