I think with the level of attention you pay to the relative few parts on a bicycle, one would want a "crafted" part vs. a stamped part. Just so you know some attention was paid to it. There's a refinement to the idea of forging and an element of brutishness in going through a punch press. (from someone who used to work at a punch press in a metal shop)

Add into that the manufacturer stamping the name- so if you wish to associate that name to the quality of your bike...
