I have 2 veristips (#8 & #9), one windcutter spey with tips and a
cortland multi-tip (#6).

People seem to have 1 of 2 attitudes to the versitip, they love them or
hate them. Most who hate them cannot stand the loop connection coming
back through the guides.

I love mine. It is so much easier to carry one reel with tips than an
extra reel or spool or more.I have had no problem with hinging etc.
They are best for streams and rivers. Less so for stillwater where I
prefer full sink lines in any event.

Another advantage I have found is my favorite shop sells the line sans
the tips for $50. I always found my WF lines would start to wear and
crack at the back end of the head. so that saves a fair pice of $ down
the road.
