The real drawback of stamped droputs during this era, is the implication that the stays and/or forks, as applicable, are hi-tensile steel and therefore heavier.

Given the era, I'm a bit surpised that the stamped dropouts are mated to a CroMo DB main triangle. Plain gauge CrMo main tubes would be more typical for the period.
