-improves the possibility of slight repairs on the market( you don't have to order inch parts from far away when you are in a metric country = selling point)

Do you need more?
Calculation errors: they're done in inches, cm or cubits, it doesn't matter what unit you use if you're a poor mathematician.

Cheaper production: I'm sure you've heard of a place called USA and their massive industrial production (which is also convenient to buy cos we kick ass at exchange rate atm)

Precision measurement is called micrometric for a reason.. they're already done in mm and subunits.

Same as above re. USA.

Your points are not valid I'm afraid (hey look at me defending the imperial system! Where are all the "Stern is anti-British" whiners?! )
