May also be worth considering a Chemex
..didn't mention this in my earlier post but the idea is to gift this to someone who drops stuff frequently (due to being a bit hectic) - and who has thus gone back to the plastic dripper after dropping two porcelain ones, so I guess a Chemex is not the best option here 😅

Thank you for that link.
I definitely experienced quite a taste difference when going from a plastic (non-Hario) pourover, to a porcelain one. To be fair it was a "cheap" plastic one. Porcelain one was a lot "cleaner".
Aesthetics wise the copper one is an absolute win for me.
Heat retention I'm not really sure whether that actually makes a big difference with a quick method like Hario V60 to be honest (also just doing one large mug at a time so it all goes down even quicker)..
Durability wise the copper ones dent fairly easily I've seen (almost bought a second hand one which apparently had been dropped before, had quite a dent in the rim : )
..so main consideration really is taste (and price obviously, but I'm willing to pay the high price if it really tastes nice)..
