This is definitely one of the better breakdowns of chip types I've seen online and I love the chart at the top - very helpful! Just a little something to point out however, contrary to what your description states the NexGen Pro chip you have pictured under "Mid-range Plastic" does NOT contain a metal insert. I personally own a set and have seen one split open. A number of NexGen lines do have them (the 8200 and 8300 series I believe?) but I can confidently tell you that the Pro series does not. Trivial as it may seem I believe this bumps them up to a slightly better category. I've handled them next to Paulsons and was shocked at how similar they felt and sounded.
