Quoted from splitskull:Stern made my whole damn blackbox metal but made the ramps in plastic... wtf is in their heads? I bet if they do it the other way, they will save some$$$ and made owners happy.
Too late for me, as I will not buy another Stern NIB. Metals ramps are the way to go IMO.
Plastic ramps have been around for decades, including the heyday of a ally/Williams. It's not always a cost cutting thing as some designers like that you can see-through clear plastic ramps.
