[sdiy] Schaeffer Apparatebau question

[Michael Zacherl]

Juergen,
maybe it's a chance to contact (call?) this guy 
from Berlin who did some statements on the colors 
of the panels. I'd ask him what he saw.
I sent to you this URL a couple of weeks ago (in 
regard to something else).
Here again the MSG he posted then:

As we know it's a matter of contrast. The aluminum 
will be the same as on the black panels you have. 
So it's a question of how light's the natural 
engraving and how darks the bronze?!

Anyway - I'd put it this way: That panel's going 
to be some sort of crown to a major piece of work. 
A one time only thing. How much's the difference? 
More then 60-70 Euros?

I'd try to be on the safe side and go for the 
filled engravings.

   HTH a bit,
       Michael.
