Buckle carrier vs mei tai?

Which do you prefer? Want something long term. I'm using the babyhawk mei tai for my 10 week old now, but thinking a buckle carrier might be better when she gets heavier. Have a chance to buy a new angelpack carrier for $60, any reviews on these? thanks!

    I vote MT so you can you do high back carries, I'm not a buckle fan at all!

    I also vote MT. I dont think buckle carriers are any easier to put on, and the MT offers more versatility. DD sometimes doesn't like the Ergo because she can only see side to side & not in front of her, which is why I got my MT.

    An MT is great if you share a carrier with DH--no buckles to adjust each time.

    I have a MT and an angel pack, and I much, much prefer the MT. It's much more comfortable (although I do like the padded waistband of the angel pack), and I like the flexibility. Back carries in the angel pack are really uncomfortable, and the straps never feel like they are adjust right. I never have that problem with the MT.
