The VOs are good value but the cheaper aluminum ones are softer and bend more easily than the much more expensive Honjo Hammered. That said, I have 37 mm VO cheapies on two bikes and, no problems.
Honjo Hammereds are very nice. Berthoud stainless are very nice, too, but IME the Honjos stand up to dents better -- I think that the aluminum is actually harder or, perhaps, the "hammered" pattern stiffens the fender. The 559 X 50 Honjos are 8 oz lighter than the 50 mm 650B ss Berthouds, hardware included -- 1 lb versus 1 lb 8 oz. Haven't weighed the VOs.
