> Not sure I get what you mean there, the brass offsets run to one size smaller than the smallest alloy and smaller than the smallest peanut.
I've never noticed there being a gap in sizes between alloy offsets and peanuts, I appear to have a nice set of 10 offsets.... The OP says he isn't bothered about smaller sizes.
Yes - the brasses are stronger in most sizes. Assuming the biggest peanut=biggest brass then the peanuts go 8,8,5,5,4 KN as you go down the set and the brasses go 10,7,7,5,5 KN. Its the smallest size that is a problem. It never really worries me though, I can't think of an occasion if I'd taken a whipper I've have broken any of those and/or been in trouble as a result and I don't fear it happening in future.
The brasses are somehow much more lovely though!
