Definitely. It takes away that "hollow" feeling you get with plastic cases. More solid = more awesome. Sort of makes each key feel independent and consistent. Let's you feel what the switch is doing a little more. Unfortunately, with stock Clears this means you can feel the "roughness" of the slider, so it can create a desire for more mods / better switches :) That's when you buy some Zealios and start to experiment with keycaps... then your wallet cries, but what's money but a tool for use in reaching typing Zen.

I think among metal cases there's a big difference between the ones with support "ridges" vs. the ones with just standoffs.

I also think a plate makes a bigger difference.  I'd rather have a plastic case + quality rubber feet + quality plate than a metal case with no plate. That's just me though.
