I have metal on the bottom and cermaic tops. If I could do it over again I'd get full metal!! I didn't realize that the "clear" ceramics aren't really clear but more of a tooth color. Between that and the silver metal wire I'd rather have gone with the smaller metal brackets.

I've decided to go full metal. The price is already $6,900 so a few hundred more isn't a big deal, I just don't care to hide them so metal it is.
