Default different materials

Thanks Craig,

I'm familiar with the 12-strand Nylon splice, but that nylon 12-strand is not the same construction as the 12-strand hollow braid, and the nylon fibers come with a twist not present in the dyneema. So I'm concerned that being a differently laid, non-stretchy fiber, dyneema might not be as amenable to that splice.
But, since there hasn't been a chorus of doom, I'll take that to mean there's no obvious, glaring downsides, and carry on with my experiments.
Thanks again.
Best,
Ben
