    Hey guys I was trying to figure out the difference's between the Slim and the adjustable Aristocrat. They look to be very similar. I just purchased an adjustable Aristocrat and was thinking about getting a Slim.

    Plating material. Aristocrat is gold/lacquer. Slim is nickel. There may be differences in knurled surfaces but IIRC that is just on the Fatboys/Executives.

    The Adjustable Aristocrat is just a gold plated slim, at least as far as I can tell.

    Correct on the plating difference. It is a Slim with a nicer presentation factor (case).
