You are literally the first person that I have heard about who is satisfied with a microswiss hotend. Most people say it is overpriced and not very good compared to others (like the Dragon hotend)
Don't know where you heard that but micro Swiss hotend has been really popular until dragon hotend came out. I'm not saying it is better than dragon but was known to work great. About prices, it might depend where you live as I just checked right now and dragon is more expensive than micro Swiss.
Hmm. I bought it a few years ago when there weren't many all metal hotends. It's never caused any issues.
Back then it cost me about 80 euros which was a bit steep but acceptable.
Back then my reasoning was that I didn't want any PTFE close to the hotend, fearing offgassing and limiting my options for filament types.
