I'm torn over the plastic vs metal angle, especially for hoods. I had a Craftsman GT with a metal hood. I have many low hanging trees, and the hood was scratched and dented from the branches which were impossible to limb up high enough. With my GT 2000, I see no evidence of scratches or damage of any kind. Materials are getting better as time passes. Who would have ever thought 40 or 50 years ago one could cook a turkey in a plastic bag?
