I agree. I also find you get a more level plane which makes trimming easier. We use both in our group and the individuals that use the disposable tend to use them multiple times before tossing them.
I have not had to clean the metal ones I use in years but have heard you can toss them in the clean cycle of your tissue processor.

Which is better? Is the cost better in the long run to buy metal? Also, how does everyone clean their metal molds?
