The lensatic compass in Hutch4545's EDC photos got me to wondering ...

Aside from the space/storage advantages of the little button compasses, what do you prefer - a baseplate compass or a lensatic compass? Why?

I definitely have my own preference - being raised as a good little Boy Scout. Or is it just ignorance? I have absolutely zero hands on experience with lensatic compasses.

I guess I'm interested in is learning about lensatic compasses and more specifically what you see as the advantages or disadvantages of these two types of compasses.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.
