yes i'm the one watching all your stikers.
seems to me if the plastic broke it would be a pita to replace (yes i know you have them), but what about 10 years from now when one breaks on me...etc etc..
one other question....why do some have backing plates that go on first and others have small plates, etc etc. mine has a solid big backing plate.
I suppose the all metal was supposed to be stronger but it seems that metal to metal would wear more. As to being a PITA to change, I'm thinking just the opposite. With plastic you remove one screw and maybe a small plate to slip old nylon out and new in. With the complete striker you have to remove it totally and then realign all so the door closes properly.
The metal plates are shims as detailed here
