Oh... The cloud in my profile pic is from the Alliance.My Alliance came in a Blue and White box with all of the contributors logos on it. The authentic has 3mm post holes, and all the clones I've seen, have 1.5mm post holes. I paid full pop for my Alliance and I'm rockin that bad boy right now. It is my go to, and second in line is my 13H9H with 3.5mm post holes. It's a Cloud Beast. The Alliance is the best of both worlds.
