(Note: I considered posting this in the DJ Dao thread, but eventually decided that thread was supposed to be more general.)

Having finally given up on the non-overseas IIDX ASC makers, it looks like I'm going to get a DJ Dao doubles deck.

That said, I need to decide whether I want to shell out for the Sanwa/Omron combo or whether I should stick with the default.

Open question to anyone with a DJ Dao - what's the general consensus on Dao's "generic" buttons/microswitches? How do they stack up to the Sanwas? Is it purely a durability difference, or also a reliability difference (i.e., do the Honeywell microswitches misfire more often)? How's the feel of the generic buttons (softer, harder, about the same), and how easy is it to feel when they're completely depressed compared to the Sanwas?
