Harley vs. Kuryakyn fuel door push button

Guys,

I'm tired of digging for my key to open the fuel door.
I have the choice of either HD keyless latch or Kuryakyn part # 1467.
The Kury looks bigger than the HD and should be easier to push down. You can't lock it, which doesn't bother me cause anyone can open the locked fuel door anyway.
The HD looks smaller and you can lock it. Some people complain that it's not easy to push down and its quality is so-so.
Both seems to have pros and cons. They're also priced pretty much the same.

Which one should I buy?

I just bought the Harley pushbutton that does not lock. Nice looking chrome dome. Works great!

I have the Harley one that locks, but I never lock it.
Love the push button.

I didn't know they carry one that doesn't lock. I'll check my access catalogue.
OK, found it. # 53919-04A. $27.95 like the other. Hmmm.......
Thanks.

Have the HD smooth push button (cuz the lock quit working on the original one and had to be "popped"). No problem with the new smooth one, works fine.
