The cast of the four figs i got were very very clean. Needed nearly nothing to cut or greenstuffing....Just the usual green stuff filling at the glued parts.

Resin offers a larger accuracy of details than metal on a casting operation.
Whereas the metal seems granulous, the resin is perfectly smooth.
Thanks to its lightness, resin is easier to manipulate.

In any case, resin models are really better than metal model.

The casting costs are almost equivalent, so there are no differences in the prices (or very low).

Edit: This material also give the opportunity to cast larger amount of pieces, because of its properties -> less operations for tidiyng.

The only problem you may encounter is "bubbles" in the resin, but it can be easily filled with putty like GS ou milliput, and then sandpapered.
