Fujifilm X-E2 black version: half-plastic body?

Good Evening Forum,

i've a issue, i didn't noticed before - the build quality of my X-E2 (black). The bottom is 100% assembled from two pieces, like my X-E1 before. What is very new for myself, is that the black X-E2 here is 100% truly half in half - means, the front side is aluminium, or alu-magnesium, and the blackside is plasticky.

I'm very curious about that - my X-E1 had both half sides at the bottom made out of metal, not plastic. Can someone with a black X-E2 verify this issue? The X-E2 does feel more "hollow" than the X-E1 to me...in terms of metal being used.

Thanks. Good Light.
