Designing a new multi-tool. Would you prefer G10/Micarta scales even if it requires a different mounting design?

I'm a designer working on a Victorinox-style multi-tool. I'm torn between two paths for the handle scales:

• Option A: G10 or Micarta.
  • Pros: Great texture, durable, premium feel.
  • Cons: Because they are rigid (low ductility), I have to use a rubber interface pad to attach them, which complicates the design.
• Option B: Standard Plastic (Cellidor/Nylon).
  • Pros: Proven reliability, easy to snap-fit (no rubber pad needed).
  • Cons: Feels "cheaper" and slippery compared to G10.

Which direction should I go? Is the hassle of mounting G10 worth it for the better texture?
