This is a real purchase question, not an invitation to name every product in the category. I care about the workflow in the title and would love reports from people who lived with both options.

I had both on the counter at the same time. In blind cups the gap was smaller than the internet had prepared me for. Cleanup, noise and how often I had to correct the setting mattered more by month three.
