So I guess it all comes down to material choice and post forming/stamping process that will dictate it's overall strength and rigidity.

It is like Carbon fiber, there is CF and then there is GOOD CF. Also, if you lay p the good CF and use an autoclave to cure it, is makes it better again.
Yep, got what your saying, makes sense & its good advice to someone considering making parts of their own, I realise that you certainly know your stuff. Do you have doubt that HB would test & use materials above par for the purpose? I don't think I would doubt that, especially not at this stage anyway.
