Vertx decks

It's written that vertx headtubes have an angle of 82 degrees, is it lower than on lucky?

And there are two options of choosing material of which Vertx deck is made:
-I Beam Xtreme-6061 Alloy(87$)
-I Beam OMG-some other alloy, described as much stronger(122$)
So, considering that most of the decks are made of 6061 alloy(let's say lucky, they have similar construction and are rather strong,6061), is there a good point in buying stronger alloy for that money, or Xtreme is good enough?

And what's your impression on vertx deck?

It's just a lucky deck, same basic design, ht angle is gonna be the same. 6061 is gonna be fine, probably, and it's been tested for years and years. Idk how long the OMG has been tested.

It's not JUST Lucky deck. I have been riding the I-Beam Extreme since April with no problems at all. I would say the OMG is stronger than a lot of other alloy decks due to the structure of it, which is actually quite different to Lucky if you know stuff.

i have a vertx ibeam and it's so much stronger and bulkier then lucky evo's. My friends evo cracked and mine is still holding up soooo well and although it is a little heavier it is worth it. but i would go with 6061 because the omg i think is not worth the money. it is stronger but idk about that much stronger.
