I have the plastic version. Very pleased with the quality of the dark grey plastic and all the parts fit very nicely.
While I prefer metal in general, the plastic in this case works better on the table. The plastic is easier to handle and doesn't tip over. I see people with metal balrogs (even fell beasts) and it's a pain to actually play with due to the weight.

A good point. On this, I used to use 'base weight beads'. Lots of little beads that you can glue to the bottom of bases for unsteady models, really useful for keeping models upright and secure in situations like this. You can usually pick up a big bag on eBay.
