Metalcloak frame-built bumpers?

I want to replace the front bumper pretty quick, for clearance and a winch, since I ordered the plastic bumper. More for vanity but also to (hopfeully) help me drive home if I do something really stupid, I'd like a stinger. I only found two options I really like. Either the Metalcloak Frame-Built or the LoD Destroyer. I'm well aware of LoD's quality, but I know hardly nothing about MetalCloak. And the Frame-Built is bolted together, with zero welds. Is that going to provide strength and longevity?

Honestly, I'm sure the Metalcloak bumper will be fine in terms of quality and if that's what you're leaning toward, you should just get it. That being said, LoD is a supporter of this forum and as you've pointed out, you KNOW the quality of them is top notch.

I had a LoD rear bumper on my JK. It was one tough bumper. Found out if you want to drill into the bumper and install a backup camera you will need a hole saw bit for schedule 80 pipe. RIP my other 4 bits.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a metal cloak bumper. I would get LOD for sure.
