7075 - how much more difficult/

Assuming I can find 7075 blanks that work with your jig, with a very rigid drill press, how much harder is it to mill than 6 series aluminum?  I'm more-or-less convinced that 6 series is plenty good enough but thought it's worth asking in case I head in the 7075 direction.

Thanks,,,ordering soon.

For the home builder with a jig, its not much.  Probably wouldnt notice the difference.  Even on the CNC, its minor adjustments of feeds and speeds if any.

c - david .....,,  I was told the 6061 is easier to work with /  and it's make-up is more resistent to corrosion...
                       which is what I am looking for under my baked-on finish.
