First mistake ever and it was a romeo mod :(

[Frito]

Well, I got enough copper showing to solder to and it works but I hated how shoddy it looked. Also, since he's a college student that moves his stuff a lot, I didn't trust the tiny bit of solder and hot glue holding it in place. So I ordered a couple LA Clones. I've seen a few out there and I ordered from richspsxparts.com simply because I trust 'em. But their clone looked like it had a metal plate where the rest have the brown flexible stuff.

Anyone have an opinion as to which is better? The hard plate or the brown plastic?
