I would love to have the option to use less plastic. A stainless steel keg upgrade in the same shape would be awesome.
Upgrade to stainless steel keg

@Tomasz Or a one gallon reinforced glass carboy. Probably would taste better than plastic!

@Ky I wonder if it would hold up to pressure. Stainless steel would be good for that plus wouldn't break if you drop it.
-
@Matt yeah Im somewhat disappointed as it doesn't heat, just cools. BeerMkr was really good by comparison but I had a bunch of leak issues with it and now it seems they're going down the tubes.

@Tomasz
Yep, it could handle it with the right PRV and the current updated version of the PRV hits above 20psi (previously 30!), which is pretty darn high for carbonating a keg anyway. "I" think it should be closer to 12 maximum pressure, but i'm sure there are others that suggest one way or the other. I really want to move to Glass or Stainless too.

Will the glass or stainless keg be backward compatible?
If it will be then there will be no hesitancy in buying current version.
I think this backward compatibility will increase their sale dramatically.
I believe the problem is there was a big investment in the production of this first generation plastic keg. And to move into the new stainless keg will lose potential profit.
I guess if there is enough interest in the backward compatible stainless keg thru a petition of interest or like of some sort then that upgrade will be sooner
