Had I purchased the heavier material, my options would have been opened to both Knife or Box, with Box being lighter weight and more balanced, constructed of less material ** read economical**, yet still authentic.
BTW, I bought the 14 yards ( not dbl but single ) so I would have enough for a full kilt and a fly plaid. and probably some left for other accessories.
Given all the details above, I would agree with your decision.
