Thank you to everyone for your responses. Accordingly, I'll just stay satisfied with my non-STM 18-55mm lens. I did just sell my Canon non-STM 50mm f1.8 and replaced it with the 50mm STM simply because it added the STM and it added a metal mount instead of plastic. I accomplished the swap for only a $30 difference.
Yea, I'd also rather have the metal mount if possible. Good investment of $30.
