Opinion A
I don't want to be locked into a fixed design. I want the option to tweak and adjust the EOAT easily. I want a profile-based EOAT.
Opinion B
The EOAT is designed well and it works. I don't want anyone making adjustments" and potentially causing damage. I want a plate-based EOAT.

Considering Plate-Based EOAT
Profile-based EOAT is great for some applications, but sometimes a lower cost, lighter weight, and easier to assemble option can be used. To suit these needs, EMI also offers plate-based EOAT. EMI's 3D Printing option allows for internal porting, built-in clamps and pressed inserts help keep it a lightweight, low-cost solution. See page 108 to compare 3D printing to Laser-cut plate.
