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.
