I use one of these with Pentel super High-polymer2B lead for writing. Very few lead snaps. The 2B lead is a bit soft and creates a darker line, but it is also more prone to smudges over a harder lead.
It all depends on what you’re looking for; the 1000 is great for people who plan on taking it everywhere. As long as you remember to retract the tip before carrying it places and treat the mechanisms well, you could easily make it last 5+ years. The Uni Kuru Toga is definitely more fragile. It’s for people who want a nice, entry-level mechanical pencil for a smooth writing experience. I have to admit that the spinning mechanism is sort of a gimmick, but it can definitely be reliable if treated with care. If you’re planning on taking this one around the world and back, then I’d 100% suggest a non-plastic model. The Uni Kuru Toga Roulette offers this, as well as the Uni Kuru Toga Advance. I hope I cleared this up for you, and let me know if you have any more questions!
I've had several of these break this way over the last 10 years I've been using these. In the US you can mail it to Pentel and they'll send you a new one. Having that outer barrel where the cap screws be made of plastic is a terrible design choice.

Lead Harder indicator is useless for me.
