My first teacher disliked metal tenon caps. When discussing instruments, he always recommended the R-13 over the Prestige for this reason (among others). He felt that the metal caps made the instrument less resonant and "restricted" tonally. Also, he said that becuase metal loses heat more efficiently than wood, instruments that used metal caps were more difficult to keep in tune in air conditioned venues.
