Very true - they are a pain either way you look at it. On more than one occasion I bored through these metal studs with a 3/4" hole saw, threaded some Hilti toggle bolts into it and used the metal backing the stud provided as added bracing for the weight - I've hung 50" Plasmas with confidence using that technique. But hell, with a few good 3/8" toggle bolts and double-ply drywall you can hang the living room couch from it and not have to worry.
