I really, really hope they leave a plastic option. I don't like the metal cards at all and don't carry around my unbranded Plat card as a result (well, also because I don't use it, but the metal reinforced that decision).
I just looked and I swear the chip on my current Reserve is silver, not gold. Or maybe it's just worn? Can't say I've ever actually paid attention to it.

Do you keep your wallet in your pocket through security? I always put my phone and wallet in my backpack and I get past the ID checker.
I'm not a huge fan, particularly of the thick Amex metal cards. My Chase Sapphire Reserve doesn't seem to be as thick, and I keep that in my wallet. My Reserve card chip is gold but is also scratched in some spots with the silver showing through.

All cards in my wallet are plastic, though. Including my CSR as they still have the option to request a plastic one.
