So you're suggesting that frame builders would purposely choose a more expensive, but also heavier tubeset to build a frame from just to trick a buyer into thinking he got a thinner tubeset? Well... I suppose that is possible

As many say, there is a point at which you have to put some amount of trust in a frame builder. I guess unless you show up at their factory with some digital calipers... this would be one of those times
