For me, the plastic, rubber buttons, lightweight and toy appearance all work well on the job. It does not take away from the end result. The audience doesn't give a darn. In and out of the car 3x daily and at night sometimes sure makes the design all worthwhile in my mind. Donny is right, give me a couple years with it and move on to another if it goes. Apparently, this is not the case, because there are many who have had their toys for years now. I believe Yamaha knows what they're doing

I might try another brand soon, but it's not because I don't think the 900 is fabulous, it's just called change.
