Question Topcase Aluminium or Plastic?

I am going to buy a new topcase for my airhead. I am more to aluminium (Hepco Becker I think) than a Givi.

I am more on tarmac and very few off road.

Which one do you thing is better?
I will carry my camera systems and daily used items in the topcase.

Thanks,

Sami

Try Metal Mule

I've got Metal Mule Aluminium panniers on my XT600E and they are excellent. I dropped my bike twice fully loaded travelling through Europe and it only scratched the pannier - no dents or twists. My hubby took a rear shunt with his and it just marked his panniers - smashed the guys bumper. They are anodised so no black stuff rubbing off onto your gear and no inner bags needed. Quick to remove. Bit expensive, but worth every penny and the sales team can't do enough for you.
