Since I learned to type on a Model 19, I'm partial to Teletype 
keyboards: the pallets never jam like they do on a manual 
typewriter, and the speed limit of a Model 19 tends to help 
me plan my typing and thus make fewer mistakes. 

I always found that I could copy Morse code more reliably on 
my Model 15 than on a typewriter: I guess it's just what I 
was used to.

FWIW. YMMV.
