If the magnets inside the cases are overloaded (assuming that you already have some there?) then you are surely overdue a total rebuild, and particularly bearing replacement?
Magnetic plugs allow you to visually assess how far down this path you already are, and conveniently allow you to remove any debris caught there by cleaning them, freeing them up again for further duty.
If concerned, and feeling that you need to go to the next level, at least on the O2B you can remove the tin end cover in order to assess how much debris has been picked up by the internal magnet, and clean that off also. Dead easy and accessible in situ.
Changing the oil will remove most of the metal debris that has not/is not being trapped by the magnet(s).
In my book, the stronger the magnets the better. Metal contamination is inevitable after all?
