dear cyclists,

can anyone lend their opinion on tube materials? what is the difference between reynolds 531c and columbus thron? what are their ride characteristics? is one stronger or lighter? does one have more durability?

i'm getting a custom frame built for me and i've got a choice of thron or 531c at the same price.
