This board and metals are indeed the dark side. When I first joined these forums I was a frogskins/holbrook snob. Sometime in 2012 I will have more metals than frogs, since I have been offloading frogs I don't want for more metals! I also reduced my holbrook collection from 8 down to 4..
There's a lot of reasons behind this for some people. First, the X metals tend to be rarer..you'll certainly look unique. Second, anyone can make a plastic frame....there are quality differences sure but its not THAT difficult to manufacture....once you realize how complex the X Metals were to develop and are to manufacture you truly feel part of something special wearing them.
