Does appear to have some extra weight to itI don't think there's much correlation between durability and weight. In fact, I'd speculate the opposite being true; the heavier mod will sustain proportionately higher forces when it comes to a sudden stop on the floor if you drop it. Mind you, I doubt you'd have anything more that cosmetic damage either way, unless the drop is from stratospheric height, and then, you might see this if the mod is made of brass (or copper):

So far as dropping the mod.. I expect you'd have to be a couple dozen feet up to get more than scratches and separation on either. The brass might gouge a little more easily though.

near the 510, could probably buff it out. The magnets held tight for that drop, and there was no attached attie at the time
I don't think any of the three materials warrants concern on wear and tear, unless perhaps you keep your mod in your tool box at a workshop type job [only b/c I hear that is very rough on mods around the traps]
Looks like a great excuse to run a chamfer mill around the top or mill a couple thousandths off the top if you want to keep the crisp lines. Either way it's easily fixable.
They sure do look amazing, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record from some 10's of pages back.. Remember that brass is HEAVY. This is absolutely not a problem around the house, but out and about it might just be, depending on how you carry your mod.
