I see! Thanks a lot Aleksey. I was using collect to simplify the script I was writing, for me it was easier to just pipe its output and process it, than having to do a loop to use "metrics query". I might try implementing it in a loop, just for the kicks :) Thansk again Aleksey and Pablo for helping me out on this one!
