If you compare the product pages:
https://mikrotik.com/product/RBGrooveGA-52HPacn
and
https://mikrotik.com/product/RBMetalG-52SHPacn
at the Wireless specifications, you can see how, if you take MCS7 @2.4 GHz (pay attention, for *some reasons* the Groove lists 2.4 GHz first, whilst Metal lists 5 GHz first):
Groove
MCS720-72
Metal
MCS727-72
the metal has 7 dBm more in trasmission, with the same sensitivity, 7 dBm are a lot.
About decasing either of them, it doesn't seem to me a good idea, for different reasons, the Groove (plastic) shell must be a few grams, so you won't save anything, whilst the Metal one (metal![;)]( "Wink")
) is useful also for heat and shielding, and in both cases you void the warranty.
