as I posted on M-L, I think if your figures are going to be in resin, then resin is the way to go for your details and accessories. My experience has been that resin holds the fine details better. The shots of Tom Meier's figgies for Fox show the clunky, overscale appearance of the metal parts versus the fine resin details on the figures themselves.
I agree about the fragile small parts in resin.....

it's always a balance between detail and durability, one reason a lot of plastic kits do their small parts over-scale. I broke several pieces on the AFV Club '251 C just trying to get them off the sprues. I am now using a razor saw instead of the nippers.
