Plastic vs Metal Controllers

I must be missing something, but what is the difference between the plastic and metal LOR controllers?  They look to have similar outputs and the descriptions are similar.  Yet, the plastic residential models are a bit cheaper than the metal controllers.

Many commercial venues require the full enclosure.

Also, very few homes are set up for 40A (either 14-20R or 2 @ 5-20R)

I always took it to mean:

Metal Enclosure = Commercial Use, higher amps, {overkill for Residential use}.

Plastic = Home{residential} Use Only, lower amps, and NOT suited for Commercial use anywhere.
