I would be for the etching. I am buyer not a seller but if sold would be disclosed. It would be on my nose or my shelf for my pleasure. I wouldn't be fooling myself or anyone else knowing there not the real deal. Even X Man blasting defeats the originality and value to some extent but would and should be disclosed on a sale. Legality wise Oakley isn't loosing any money on the deal however the X Metal is a registered trademark and I am sure they wouldn't approve.
