The USD forks of the TT together with the 18/21 wheels conspire to give a very top heavy feel to the TT vs the Brozz. I will probably have a 17/19 combo laced onto the TT hubs at some time. The TT saddle while better than the Brozz is not by much. I need to carve the foam and have my local auto upholstery shop re-do the cover. Maybe a superfoam rebuild by Sargents.
As a person who has the budget version of the TT250 (aka Hawk ) I can back up your insights.

The Brozz swing arm is a better design in terms of durability. It's still a cheaply made item as you pointed out. The adjuster bolts are a little sloppy in the threads, but only once they are extended out beyond the last 2/3 of the adjustment range. Even then, with the lock nut in place, the bolt stays solid. I actually added a second nut to lock against that one and provide a little more positive support.

The top heavy feel is a small trade off for the larger front wheels ability to roll over bumps and objects with greater ease, and much better highway stability.
