I got a roost when they launched, still have it, practical and durable, I imagine I'll always have it.
The problem with this paper one is that the paper will wear within a couple of years, and if you spill your coffee on it or anything like that or put it down on a coffee-ring stain, it's straight in the bin.
I fail to see the value in something made from recyclable that is essentially disposable rather than a roost which can be made from recycled plastic and last forever.
The roost also only cost about double to triple this to buy.
EDIT: I see the roost is quite a bit more expensive now, but longevity and ergonomics wise I'd say still well worth it.
