Plastic vs metal feeder - had to make the swap after one bad season

I was always a cheap plastic tube feeder guy for my sunflower seeds. But after one winter where a squirrel literally chewed through the bottom of two of them and spilled 20 bucks worth of seed, I caved and got a metal mesh one from the hardware store. Been 3 months now and that thing is solid, plus the finches seem to like clinging to the mesh more than the perches. Only downside is cleaning the mesh is a pain compared to just wiping down plastic. Anyone else made the switch and stuck with it or went back?

Soaked the mesh in vinegar water and it cleaned right up.

@jessew83 did you try that on the gunk buildup inside the lid seal too?
