Just ordered a new Cutter Cuban Crafters.

Also, to me it takes off too much of the cap. Does good with larger ring gauge cigars, but will butcher the small rig gauges.

There's a really good point that I missed. They aren't good for really small rings, the cut is too deep unless you hold the cigar back from the bottom. It'll take all the caps off and square the end.
I've never had a "bump" issue with the metal ones, but it stands to reason. Plastic probably can't stand up to the force required to cut very many cigars without giving way.

BTW, I usually [unch smaller RG's, or I just don't put as much cigar into it. Just because it has the plate, doesn't mean you have to use it.
