It shouldn’t really mater if its plastic of metal as long as they are under $20. They are very easy to change so if the plastic ones only last a couple years, its not a bid problem.

That did happen to me when I got one for my wife's 928. I had hoped it was just a mistake; I was going to get an all metal one for my 951 tomorrow. Guess I'll have to keep looking.
