I might catch hell, but they are still X-Metals - I wear my Half X's daily no matter where I go, sometimes switch color combos, but they are the most comfortable X-Metals out there and I have only broke 1 hinge in about 7 years now. All my other serialized X-Metals stay in the case except for special occasions.
I admire your courage for speaking the truth. That took some big brass ones to admit. Lol.
