Braille Display recommendation

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out because I'm about to request a Braille display through my local health service in Italy, and I need to indicate a preference, although the final decision will be theirs. The two options on the table are the Focus 40 Blue (5th gen) and the Mantis Q40. My previous Braille display, which I've been using for six years, was also a Focus 40 Blue 5th generation. My main use would be with a Windows laptop running JAWS and NVDA, though I might also use either display with my iPhone and VoiceOver. For those of you who have used either of them, how has your experience been? My previous Focus has had recurring issues with the cells, and it is currently being repaired. However, the repair costs are so high that the dealer suggested going through the process of requesting a new one instead.
