Is it true that the LX200 series use plastic RA and DEC gears?

I'd like advise from anyone who owns an equatorially mounted Meade 14"
LX200 GPS + UHC used for CCD imaging eg pointing/drive accuracy, image
quality etc.

I'm aware the view visually is excellent but think CCD imaging is more
critical especially on engineering. I'm thinking of upgrading my
12"Classic LX200 - the 14" fits the pier without modification!

Websites with sample 14" images would be useful too. TIA
