thanks for a great thread!!!
I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that it's a building code thing. When we built the Airshow Mastering studios in Boulder, CO, and expanded a few years later, we also used steel studs. In any case, the framers can work really fast with metal and since our acoustical designer Sam Berkow had no objections to metal studs, they must be perfectly OK in this application.
