Gosh, I sure hope that's not true. I just bought a brand new 350PE last year & was also considering the 215 & was told it was just the cases that were plastic by my dealer. The guy who cleans/services it also said it's all metal parts.
... looking for YouTube video of how to take apart my machine now to make sure it has all metal insides. *fingers crossed*
