Plastic Chain

Were are a 42 point stacking robot and can do 1 1/2 to 2 per match. We were picked by the #1 alliance in both of our districts. At this point we weight 119.5 pounds and use a elevator to raise the 6 totes , can and litter.
One of our mentors wants to add a can puller from the step. To do this we must lose weight and he wants to install plastic chain where we use metal chain now (lifting approx. 75 pounds). I feel that being a very high scoring robot it is not worth the risk of installing plastic chain. What are other teams experience using plastic chain ?
