I second the fact that more metal machines should be made from Swashdrive. I had a whip for not so long and used a gen7 for some time, although I liked how they ran (even though too light for me) the first I opened the box I felt like opening a Kinder lol !
I don't question the fact they are solid machines, it just feels fragile. I would not buy again a swashdrive for this unique reason unless they are metal made. (the same reason I didn't really like the RW aluminium and prefered the brass versions)
just my own opinion on it !
