| Burly, thanks for the great feedback!
Tryan, of all three balls here's my thoughts
Esky - Aluminum and wear quickly. Bad bad bad
B400 - Stainless, very nice. Good Good Good. Really good in fact. Same size (threads and ball) as the Esky balls so they are a direct replacement.
Align - Stainless and same quality as B400, but larger. Also you get to use the Align ball links which IMO are better than the Esky/Elflight ball links. They are larger, fit more precisely and are inexpensive.
If I had it to over, I would use the Align balls and links. For those with the CNC or B400 swash, the Align balls are a direct fit. Also, in the purple CNC head, all but two balls are aluminum and wear quickly. I've replaced all the aluminum balls with either B400 balls, or where they fit, the Align balls.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I currently have the LONG B400 on all 7 swash locations. The Align long balls will definitely work for the outer, swash to servo, balls. However, they may be too large for the inner 4 balls.
