It's not quite that simple. If you produce plastics, your choices vary 
from horribly low-grade cereal box stuff to extremely well detailed 
injection kits. This is a cost issue.

Likewise, metal casting quality ranges from barely identifiable lumps 
from manufacturers best left unnamed to extremely fine (and 
expensive) castings from CinC or GHQ. This is ultimately also a cost 
issue.

To clarify: What I meant was that if you choose your material on a
principle or a whim, and chuck enough money in the process, you can
achieve the exact same quality you could have had with the other
material. 
Whether it's cost effective or not depends on your market.
