re: Metal roof on home, who has one?

Built a house 6 months ago and went with a metal roof. I also had the roof decked with 1/2 inch thermostat radiant barrier plywood then stripped it with 2x4's. All of the edges are capped so wind is not an issue. I did spray foam insulation on my ceilings and I can only hear the rain if it is an absolute frog strangler even then it is not that loud. I love it and wouldn't change a thing about it.

So with the edges trimmed w/ 2x4's, you have a permanent air gap without that holds the air? (no circulation?) I'm trying to get my mind around these details.
The reason I'm so interested in the details (especially concerning wind) is that I'm tired of having to replace a bunch of shingles every time I go to my place in New Mexico. The month of July is basically one-month hurricane.
