For example, if you guys were choosing a new wallet now, and came to a shop where all open source hardware wallets are represented, would you purchase an inexpensive convenient beautiful "exotic" wallet? Or would you purchase one of the same wallets you used to consider, like Trezor/Coldcard/Bitbox02 ? Why?
If I were to choose a new HW now, it wouldn't be the former... I did that mistake in the past and had an unpleasant experience that led me to go back after a certain time to purchase one of the latter HWs

- If money is an issue, then it's always best not to spend or rather waste the little money someone has for a product that might not always work in the way that it intended to (I'm not implying that all of them have issues, but I prefer to go with a reliable brand to save myself from potentially getting headaches in the future)!
