I'm of the mind that the resin ones are actually better - the corners 
are sharper in resin, metal castings are always slightly rounded off. 
The air pockets are inevitable in resin castings (unless you have the 
super-expensive casting kit of outfits like Forge World) but I think 
ours are kept to an acceptable minimum.
