Wood vs. plastic bassoons?

Hi,

I have experience playing oboe and EH, and have been contemplating taking up the bassoon.

Is cracking an issue with wooden bassoons like it often is with the upper joint on the oboe and EH?

I was thinking specifically about the Fox Model III (plastic) vs. the Fox Renard 220 (wood). Are there any significant drawbacks to a plastic instrument like the Model III (weight, tone, ???) What are people's opinions in general of these two Fox instruments?

Thanks.

Mark
