how come its being copied. Would have thought the plastic would be lighter than the stainless. Also, how does the stainless compare with the ally weight wise?

I got an aluminium one allyfab weighs 3.2kg (6gallon). Nicely made too, and cheaper than plastic.

Car Builder Solutions do plastic ones. The issue can be sealing between the metal insert fittings and the plastic, which put me off them. I don't think that plastic gives a weight saving over ally.
