Rotax ignition switches

I'm curious to hear from builders and fliers who are flying behind Rotax 912s regarding their ignition switch setup. I've read everything I can find online regarding the use of two toggle switches vs a key with left/right/both. Does anyone who has experience with the Rotax care to share their own experience with one arrangement or the other?   I have the ACS key in my panel and although I haven't flown yet I am second-guessing my decision.

I think any quality keyed switch is going to have a bit of heft to it. Here's one option:
