Your point about it keeping cooler makes a lot of sense for a trade that is almost always outside. Putnam- I’ve always wondered why masons still prefer wood levels, almost exclusively.

I've got Dad's old wood with brass trim level downstairs and it's as functional as it is nice looking. But when there's work to do, I reach for my metal 36" or Craftsman laser level.
