HM standing Rigging. Why use DeadEyes?

[benz]

Deadeyes are so much more cool looking, and probably weigh less, all told, than all the metalwork of turnbuckles and toggles and such. There is a net reduction in parts that may fail (clevis pins, etc.) , and lanyards are easy to inspect and relatively cheap to replace. Also, have you seen the price of bronze turnbuckles lately? It is becoming an outrage.
