Which Powerblock Dumbbells to Buy

TLDR how annoying is it it change the adder weights in the PowerBlock Dumbbells with adder weights?

I have decided to buy PowerBlock Dumbbells that go up to 50 lb per hand. I am having trouble deciding whether to buy the kind with adder weights that have smaller increments, or the ones that start at 10 lb and have 5 lb increments with no adder weights. I have a good selection of individual dumbbells at low weights, so I could still get small increments up to 20 lb with the Powerblocks with the 5 lb incremenents, and both sets have a 5 lb jump from 20 to 25 lb. However, if I get the weights with the 2.5 lb increments I could sell most of my individual dumbbells, and used weights are going for a lot right now. Also, they take up a lot of space. However, I have heard that it is annoying to use the adder weights.
