Bingo..

I'm sure if you told people that, some customers would insist on copper.

The price gap is getting ever wider. The odds are that the O ring will outlast the guarantee by a fair margin so the whole lot will be pulled out and redone in the future. Thirty years from now I doubt that you'll see copper.
