Sexy looks, a bit heavy pull though

This is the sexiest looking trigger ever! The problem is after you install it, all you can see it the trigger portion that protrudes into the trigger guard. That looks pretty good too, but it also looks a little flimsy. It was super easy to install and I loved the anti rotation roll pins. I didn't know it came with them, so that was a pleasant surprise. I debated between 4 and 5 stars, but I decided on 4 because the trigger lever has some faint movement and the trigger pull is a bit heavier than it should be. I don't have a pull gauge, but just comparing to another 3.5 pound RA trigger, it is noticeably heavier. I also feel that while sexy looking, I have other triggers that cost less and have a lighter, crisper pull. Would I recommend it to a friend? I would tell them that although it looks great, there is better triggers for less money.
