How much can the WTP Metric take?

If I get the WTP Metric, am I going to be able to ride it for some stuff other than flatland specific tricks? By that I mean bunny-hopping (although with the different frame, bunny-hopping might be fairly hard), footjam tailwhips, 180s, rock walks (I'm not saying I can do all of these tricks, but just wondering about them), etc. I'm not really talking about grinds or anything really hard on the bike (I've got my Hoffman for that), but is the Metric going to be able to take the extra abuse without going to pieces? And I think I read somewhere that the Metric is over-all stronger than the DK Signal, which makes me not want to get the Signal for fear of it going bad when I do a few tricks other than pure flatland stuff.

So basically, how far away from flatland can a flatland complete go?
