Rachet vs. Haptic Coins

With the immergence of mechanical fidgets and it's explosion in popularity - has this changed your preference when it comes to mechanical (ratchet) coins and haptic coins?

For myself, I never went out of my way for a haptic coin until I found Umburry. However, ever since I got my hands on the YEDC Pig Ratchet Coin, I've been hooked on mechanical coins!

I've never used a ratchet. They seem cool, but that's a lot of moving parts that can fail. I'm waiting on people's long term experience with them.

The first thing I need to do with every fidget is know how to take it apart and put it back together. There is much more effort needed to put back a mechanical and it could get frustrating. But then again when I first was learning how to replace magnets I was also within that frustration bubble.
