I use one daily and there's no disadvantage with the backing plate.
Cost-wise , they're the same as any others: $15-$18.

Would it be nice if the unit was standardized to work with any BP?...Yes , but it's certainly
not a deal breaker where I'm concerned.
It's a very well made, user-friendly machine that just flat out performs, which,for me, makes up for any minor issues concerning accessories.

By the way, being "stuck" with their BP's isn't neccessarily a bad thing...they're high quality and fit perfectly with your average sized pad (5-1/2 inches and up).
