If not, then the covers should last a good while then?

Maybe? I would not be surprised either way, to be honest, and any speculation beyond that is just a guess.
I did not intend for hitting it with a hammer to be a fair comparison; I was trying to point out that saying the surface is so much harder is only one component of the relevant properties.

Yeah, talking about the VANOS covers themselves. I feel like if they took them off, they would have said so, but again, I am speculating.
Re-reading my previous post on the topic, I sound more critical of Ventrax than I am. If I had to choose an aluminum clip-on cover, I would almost certainly select theirs and then never think about it again. They have done good work, and most of their design decisions make perfect sense.
