Default AK-47s, Milled or Stamped?

I'd like to know what you guys think with regard to AK-47 receivers. Which do you feel is better, the Stamped AKM receivers, or the Milled receivers seen on older AK-47 models and newer copies. Most people will argue that an AK is an AK and all of them are reliable, but I've also heard that the Milled versions are tougher and even more reliable than the Stamped AKMs. The think is, the Milled ones are about two pounds heavier, and usually cost over a grand, next to a Stamped AKM's 500-600 dollar price range. Is the money worth the additional weight and "better reliability" or would one be better off spending half the money on a stamped version? Thoughts?
