Viper weights will be better, and as I said I'm planning on purchasing them all beforehand and then selling so people aren't waiting for their weights as long with their money is in my hand. Rest assured that I'm not going with this machine shop again. Ever. As it stands now, the cheapest US based machine shop is charging $170 for a polished brass (mirror finish) engraved weight viper. Take out the mirror finish and the cost is a lot more reasonable. There's a good chance the viper weight will be made outside the United States.
As to what can help with your weights, orbital buffer + polishing compound does wonders. But expect it to tarnish very quickly again. I'm unsure as to what caused those marks but those little marks all over in your photos I did not notice when they shipped. I apologize that it didn't meet your expectation.
You've been the most critical of this GB out of everyone here, and you have every right to be! But I assure you no one is more disappointed than me, and I don't even have a black bird lol. But despite your reservations, you've still readily given me your money so maybe my scam worked better than expected.
