The 350 (and 950 as well) also has a metal front with a plastic back. But that metal front keeps the glass from flexing and cracking as easily. Plastic on the back keeps the weight down.
But yes, the x50 line of Sony's readers, including the 350, was really that good. Very stable firmware, plus hackable, and with PRS+ installed, there's still nothing comparable to me yet.
Having just gotten a Kobo Glo I use at times for the light and seeing the "shortcomings" of how it even displays ebooks, definitely a big yes, the x50s were that good, everything just worked as it should.
