Manta, would you mind posting a link to the plug and fly MX2? If it's the one I'm thinking about I don't think you really need to change the servos just because they don't have metal gears or are only 17g. The weight of a servo means very little as far as it's performance goes. Obviously it's easier and cheaper to build a bigger heavier servo, stronger, than a smaller lighter servo, but extra weight is a bad thing on a 3D model too. It's the torque of the servo that your more interested in and probably of as much importance is how quickly it moves and how nicely it centeres.
I was thinking you were putting together an ARF when I wrote my earlier post you may well find that what the model has already mounted in it, is quite good enough. I'd be interested to see just which plane it is??
