I have tried both, too. All five of the Dahons that I have owned have had the magnets. I have an interest in a company that was an authorized Dahon dealer for 5.5 years. During that time we sold several Dahons with the plastic socket. My experience has been that the plastic sockets were difficult to adjust and broke easily. We replaced some plastic sockets with magnets. We did not replace any magnets with plastic sockets. That said, since the plastic socket is working well for you, I would not recommend that you replace the plastic socket with the magnet.
