Just spotted this - is "metal Ebony" an oxymoron? :)

Looks like geared rise and possibly shift too, wonder if the tilt and swing is geared too? Doesn't look like it from the photos.

They should make a model out of Titanium with exotic endangered hardwood knobs.

You bet. An increased-precision model is a welcome option, and if it helps them remain viable in an evolving market, so much the better.

Otto,

According to their website, the ebony wood in Ebony cameras comes from plantations; it is not rain-forest ebony. I see no reason to doubt them. The rare metals that are in your (and my) cell-phones are probably more environmentally unfriendly. Anyway, view cameras (I mean all view cameras) are not a major threat to the Earth.
