plastic vs. metal lens mounts

Personally, I prefer metal lens mounts, as they strike me as more durable.  I change lenses a lot, and I have no concern about wearing out the mounts as a result of both of them being metal.

This lens is so light and so inexpensive, though, that even if the plastic lens mount might theoretically be easier to break, I doubt it would actually happen and it wouldn't be a disaster if it did.  You would only be paying like $25 for this lens, right?
