Is the Hobonichi Techo worth the price?

Specialist-community consensus on r/hobonichi and r/notebooks is that the Tomoe River-style paper, lay-flat binding, and daily/weekly hybrid layout justify the premium for journaling-heavy users. Reviewers who only need appointment tracking often say it's overkill and recommend a Weeks or a cheaper weekly. Quality-control complaints around paper consistency have surfaced in r/hobonichi threads and should factor in.
