The article doesn't mention this, but in my experience playing live gigs the full pedal stomp (1) is significantly better than dimple button style stomp (2). In fact, for me, it's a dealbreaker if a pedal has a dimple stomp. I'm curious if other ppl feel similarly.

Those mini-pedals pretty much only come with "dimple stomps," as do most wah pedals under the rocker.

My board has quite a mix of each format. Of course the Klon Klone has a dimple, but I like Boss pedals for their durability. Those switches are actually cheap plastic, but the part you stomp on limits you from crushing it.

I chose a pedal based on the sound it produces not how it feels to use. I like the feel of the full buttons, but my board doesn't have any. Until now I've never even thought about it. So no, it's not at all a dealbreaker for me. If it were, it would severely limit my choices.
