If the thickness of each assembled sheet is finished to maintain uniformity within a specified tolerance across the entire sheet, that's a high precision finish whether or not those entire broad surfaces are fitted against anything else. I got the impression it was a hidden homage that had to be articulated. Let me know what the messenger says after you ask about it.

No, the stock sheets are ordered by size, thickness, and occasionally finish.
The thickness chosen for each section is based on how much strength it needs hold it's shape and bear the stress it will be subjected to. Obviously the smallest curl doesn't have to be strong as the largest curl so much lighter material.

Stainless sheets are all pretty good finish, but sometimes it's practical to buy it polished/brushed rather than doing it yourself, but in this case no. Ordering a better finish would be defeated by the handling during fabrication.
