The day that Buffet switched to nylon pins was the day I stopped looking at any new Buffets for purchase and decided to permanently stay with my older 1960's and 1970's R13's.
Having witnessed the nylon pins failing on three of my colleague's R13's (once in the middle of a concert!) was enough to convince me that Buffet's new attempt to silence the key mechanism is a very bad design flaw.
If Buffet was so intent on redesigning the key mechanism, a better idea would have been to keep the existing metal pin, but coat it with teflon tubing, as many techs now routinely do.
BTW - For quite a while, Buffet replacement nylon pins (which cost less than a dollar) were almost impossible to find, forcing many techs to make their own out of nylon or metal (preferred) .
