Since you're looking at getting a GCC, you'd need small ones. The only trouble with those is that you have to use really small screws to join them or you risk splitting the wood. I use stainless steel on all my play stands.
And I do believe they are better than natural branches when it comes to cages. Simply put, natural branches don't offer sufficient variations in shrot lengths for cages. natural branches have variations across long lengths of branches on trees. In the cage, when you are only dealing with one or two feet length of perch, they are often uniform like a dowel. Also natural branches can be poisonous to parrots unless you use the right ones. They can harbor mold, bacteria, or bugs. There is a lot involved in making natural branches work for parrots in the captive environment.

Cool! I hadn't realized you had unprocessed perch lengths available. I'll have to get back to you on that, how soft are the NU perches compared to the hardwood NU perches?

Well these things are costly to produce in relatively small quantity. Nothing about parrot ownership is cheap in the first place. In my experience the best way to save money with parrots in the long run is to get the right stuff from the first try. For example trying to save money buying a cheaper cage ends up costing more when you gotta replace it with a better one than just getting the better one in the first place.
Also there is much to learn from others. I went through 3 different air purifiers until I found the right one to use with parrots. I wasted a lot of money in this learning proccess. Had I known up front that the fancy ones won't be suitable, I could have saved a lot of money on pointless devices. That is why places like this forum are so helpful. You can learn from others and make more informed decisions.
