There is alot more load on the beams than you may think( google Atheon on SA).It's the last thing you want underbuilt. If you buy or build get a little heavier schedule than you'd expect. I've got Forte beams on my present A, and wish the builder had gone a little thicker/stiffer. They have been overwrapped since, but it's not the same as having them built thst way from the beginning.
