Well, I know there'd be some who'd rather have the bricks, but I think the
majority of us would get the wall pieces. I think it'd be cheaper, and for me,
that makes a big difference.

I'm a Town person, but I guess this must be the Castle version of the
"Juniorization" argument. Castle Junior? :-)

Heh... Not really. I like the wall pieces too; 6080 is my favorite castle,
not least because it has 30(!) of these... But there's only so many of them I
can use... (last count put me (and my wife) at (well) over 100 grey, over 50
black and over 50 dark grey.
Bricks on the other hand...well, you can't get enough bricks. There's a
reason this line is in my roll call....
"Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): basic bricks, arches, plates & tiles."

Some from eBay or trading, but mostly from multiple copies of 6097 Night Lord's
Castle.
Actually, I did a quick count when I got home to make sure my numbers weren't
out to lunch, and I underestimated, for the most part. (~170 grey and ~90 dk
grey)

Hey, bricks *and* wall sections would be nice.
But only if they introduce another section that *doesn't* have a window
in it.

You said a mouthful, Tony!
Tyco made windowless walls which are actually pretty cool. But unlike Tyco
walls, the walls should have the cut out corners of Lego walls to retain the
strength of building in that staggered brick, or interlocking, manner.
My two cents...
