It\'s not the extruded aluminum of the WL, but polycarbonate (Lexan) is pretty well proven for this kind of purpose. Aluminum is certainly tougher, but is aluminum necessary? Any impact that\'s going to break the Lexan would break internal components inside an aluminum shell anyway--the Lexan is as tough as it needs to be.
I\'ve been using a pair of B1600 along with a bunch of WL X3200. I really like the lightweight of the B1600, actually. I feel better about them sitting 13 ft. up in the air too. Especially in the winds we get here. I\'m an outdoor photographer and have found the B1600 casing is really pretty tough. I manage to break or destroy at least one lens or camera every year, but so far haven\'t damaged a B1600.
