It is true, there is nothing wrong with the plastic shock bodies. As far as a difference in handling between... piston position and where it sits in the shock body... or plastic to teflon coated shock bodies, IMHO the teflon shock body is more noticeable, and as a positive, not a negative. The weight difference is negligible.
Its funny how people can debate aluminum shock bodies as a positive or a negative, but have no issue anodizing the car in Alien Green or adding aftermarket chassis to an already great car. Maybe people just like aluminum shock bodies?!
