I am drawn to metal because I want really slick needles, but the Harmony needles are good and slippery (and should be okay on my multiple plane trips this year). <br /><br />However, I still prefer 7" sock needles, which are mighty hard to come by these days (all of my old ones have chippedpaint and now drag more than bamboo).
