i feel that metal bodies are meant to be trashed around.. or else whats the point ?
but if it makes you happy... then do get one
i think the plastics used are getting better so there shouldn't be much of a concern.. seriously.. even with a metal body what are u going to do with it? throw it around? unless u do lots of outdoor shooting where u will knock ur camera here and there.. there's really no need for a metal lens..
main thing I would focus on is the optic quality, then the build... no point getting an iron lens if it s*cks at taking picutres.. but if i take care of a good plastic lens it'll last a long time.. metal's pretty heavy too...

I like metal lenses for the same reason some people prefer brushed aluminium mobile phones or magnesium alloy laptops, or polished metal on the back of iPods- it just feels so much more expensive..
