Thanks! Yeah I think this was made before the mag saws came out.

Also I think there are different schools of thought on that. The steel shoe is heavier, but if your saw took a fall on a construction site you could just bend it back into shape; the magnesium ones are lighter but tend to break. As a hobbyist myself I prefer the magnesium one too, but many carpenters prefer the steel shoe.
