All ye Nikon fans, RESPOND.

Being a graduate student, I am perennially short of green bills! So why 
shouldn't I invest in Series E lenses? The company claims the same lens
material, the same process and everything else is same, except for weight
and price, for comparable zoom lenses of Series E and Nikkor.

Why does a camera equipment seller calls Series E to be a piece of garbage
because it is made up of plastic material? Is it? So what? I aint gonna 
play basketball with the stuff. What difference does a metal lens body make,
anyway?

I am trying to buy 70-210/f4 Series E. Any advice regarding above will be
most welcome.
