Not sure if this is what you are referring to, but the nozzles are brass and the "cup" that they sit in looks to be ceramic. If it were metal, the spark from the ignitor would ground out on the cup rather than the burner.

IIRC, it is heavier/thicker and more precisely manufactured and placed on the PB-207.

I can check on this later when I get home and can look at my PB-207 and a few other brands, including the DX, side by side.

One thing I don't like about the PB-207 is the roll-forward safety, but a pair of diagonal cutters will fix that in a second.
