I have had the metal head on my Stinger 50 since before it was available.
I noticed a lot less flex in the head durring very hi G moves.
Two crashes have not damaged any of the metal head parts.

The only issue that I have had so far is that I wear out a lot of dampers (good thing they are really cheap and quick and easy to replace). Since the head does not flex there is a lot more stress on the dampers.
I just got a set of the new "On Edge" dampers that are supposed to be better. I have not had a chance to install tham yet.

Yes I think that they are worth it.

glad to hear the parts are worth it, i think i have the new dampeners now, they are the white with the black o-ring, i have one flight with these and i like to and will be ordering another set for the 2nd stinger with some of the metal upgrades.
