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.
