In my case the extruded aluminum frame definitely had an effect on my print quality. Before the upgrade when I printed out the Maker's Muse tolerance test the .15 and .2 sections were fused, and the .3 section was tight, after the upgrade all of the sections were loose. This is specially noticeable when printing tall items, as the X axis tends to get sloppy on the A8 the higher you go. Right now the results I'm getting from the A8 with the extruded aluminum frame are comparable or better than the results I see from people online with much more expensive machines like the original Prusa i3.
