The only problem with the plastic Lorees is the plastic isn't anti-UV treated, so the surface will discolour with time and exposure to light - though that has no effect on the tone.

The plastic ones probably cost Loree more to produce themselves than wooden oboes as plastic isn't as easy to work as wood (the sale price to the end customer was probably the same as the equivalent grenadilla one) as well as the price of plastic rod which is more costly than the equivalent length grenadilla billet.
