Bret,
Did scat engineers say that somewhere? I think the Scat accountants decided that. Forged cranks are very costly. It is much cheaper to have a crank cast over seas, therefore a greater profit margin can be made on the sale of a large quantity of cranks at a cheaper cost.
Just for the record, I am running a Scat crank in my Pond aluminum 482.
