    I have a M15x that comes with Magnesium case.
    I read that M17x are cladded in Aluminum..

    Not having a M17x to make a comparision, to those who do have BOTH (or have compared it), what are the difference?

    Is the Aluminium case better?

    I'll let you know when I get my M17x-R2. Some people claim the aluminums build quality is better.

    Sleey can tell you about that. And he seems to be not a fan of magnesium case.
