Recently Royce changed from drilling the hole clean through the mirror to drilling a blind hole leaving the front surface intact, and filling the hole with epoxy to set a stud in that. Mechanically this is fine, I know.
What concerns me is that I know coatings don't last forever and the mirror will require re-coating. You cannot put epoxy in a vacuum chamber, which means not only must it all be removed, it must be scrupulously chemically cleaned (etched) first and that isn't easy to do for a hole (I know what is involved having watched this process first hand, a few times). It implies re-coating such a mirror could be potentially impossible, actually.
Hence inclined to go with the Zambuto over a Royce mirror.
Thoughts ? Mark ?
