Couple of things here.
Are you sure that the plastic end is "threaded"? When I looked at it a year or so ago I assumed it was not threaded but simply moulded with a series of side by side grooves. To adjust the length I did not think you screwed the end on but rather removed the end and relocated it further slots up or down. Correct me if I wrong.
Just for the record, every case of breakage I have heard of involved the actual end fitting and not failure of the plastic end on the cable.
As to the aluminum "upgrade". I bought these for my SpecBox a year or so ago and took one look at them and decided not to use them. Yes the plastic Porsche ends have been known to break but to replace them with an ill fitting device secured with 3 tiny little set screws which would almost certainly fall off in time seemed nonsense to me. I suspect they would be fine for a street car but no way on a race car. Ever since I have run the stock components, tried not to be too brutal with the stick and have not had an issue. I still carry spares to the track just in case but so far so good.
