and the report in this thread, that I'm responding to. I didn't look further, because you said "you see if you can find any". We also, of course, have no idea how many Voyages are out there. It's a very expensive device.

however, I'm perfectly willing to believe that Voyages are more durable (though the relative lack of reports may or may not be good evidence of that).

What I question is your assertion for it being more durable because it's metal not plastic. The metal vs plastic device case debate has been around for years and has not been resolved in any meaningful way. Metal feels more durable, subjectively, which means nothing. But it does make for good marketing.
