Steve, I just like it better because it only costs a little more than 1/8 and the extra wall thickness allows us to tap threads into it to mount non structural items like brake line clamps, cable clamps, etc. with a little deeper thread than the 1/8 would give. But those sticks are HEAVY! I was very happy yesterday after I wrestled one into the bandsaw and cut the more manageable 45 inch pieces off of them.

Mainly though, we just overbuild everything.
