I like the feel of the teardrop better, but as was said above, the button is a bit delicate and I frequently end up having to click 2 or 3 times before it responds. I think the button contact inside wears out or gets dirt buildup that interferes with it. I disassemble mine and keep it as clean as I can, but I still have problems with it. I think it is getting close to replacement time for that one. Luckily I have quite a few of them from all the machines I have acquired over the years.
