People have an issue with plastic....The benefits far out weigh the negatives.
Plastic is LIGHT..which means its LESS apt to get bumped or dropped. A heavy metal keyboard dropping on itself can transmit far more shock to its innards then a more flexible giving plastic case which will absorb afar more of the initial brunt of the force.
I cannot think of any advantage of a heavy Metal board except for stability on a stand.
Both cases will take a thrown beer bottle LOL. The bottle with be less likely to break against the plastic case as well....LOL
I would have paid the same for my XS8 if it were made from the Tyros case....In fact I paid more for the all plastic Tyros!!
Heavy Metal cases are overrated and someday won't become a selling point.
