It has it's place I know but for a new person into the hobby, it's hard to tell if these so called upgrades are really that or just another source of problems to overcome. I guess this forum is really earning it's keep in trying to keep people well informed of these issues.

The reason I use the metal upgrades on my tanks is because the grass around here is about 3-4 inches tall, even while mowed. It's very difficult to turn, and the tanks will float on top of the grass and get stuck quite often while stock. I agree though, adding metal upgrades opens a whole other can of worms that need to be delt with.
