Flocking: Yay or Nay?

i love how flocked ponies look, and other flocked figures, but my god they're a pain to dust and clean lol

I loved So Soft ponies!  Paradise and Magic Star are two I remember having as a child.  I love the feel of them.  I have, however, purposefully sought out damaged flocked ponies to deflock so I have one of each.
I have not found a badly damaged Crumpet yet to deflock.
And I have NOT deflocked a Buttons, Wind Whistler, Shady North Star, Posey, CJ, Lickety Split as I have their other versions.

I deflocked a Paradise a few weeks ago and still cant get over how white she was compared to how dirt coloured she was before.  Now I just need to re-hair her but I'm thinking that beautiful white and the super orange hair will look amazing together

For me, both, but I'd NEVER remove nice flocking even if I already had a flocked version.

I own wind whistler and a truly that was deflocked by her previous owner I'm neutral to the flocking texture for the most part but it is kinda fun to run my fingers under her hooves. ponies like twist are way too vibrant to be so softs I want a deflock twist so bad on the flocked version you can barely even see the purple.
