I agree with Tyler on his reply. Mod chips are much more superior than the flip top swaps. Easier doesnt necessarily mean lazy as the modded consoles have more reliabilty to game backups and less probs in regard to games that may not work with the ole swap-a-roo. It may be true that flip tops are cheaper and easier to install but in the long run you save that extra money on the wear of the laser. This is one of the main reasons we recommend the mod chip over the flip top swap.
Of course you are entitled to your own opinion and preference.
I foresee an upcoming "where can I get a replacement laser" thread?
