Yes, it's subjective. However, for me, Topre is definitely worth it. Over the years, I've tried many types of keyboard switches. These have included cheap contemporary rubber domes, foam & foil, IBM membrane buckling spring (Model M), IBM capacitive buckling spring (Model F), IBM beam spring, various SKCL and SKCM Alps, various vintage and contemporary Cherry mx and clones, and Topre 45g and 55g.
There is something to like about almost any keyboard switch, and I keep quite a variety in my keyboard rotations at home and work. However, the one I keep coming back to as my overall favorite is lubed and silenced 45g Topre (in my HHKB Pro 2 and my RF R2 TKL PPU edition boards).
Conversely, the switch category that consistently ranks last in my personal ratings is Cherry mx and its clones. Nevertheless, I keep some of these in my collection, mainly to showcase some very attractive keycap sets. Among Cherry clones, my favorites are Gateron Yellow and Zilent v1 67g. The Zilents are the closest thing to Topre that I have found in the Cherry mx and clones world.
As always, YMMV.
