AP 26320 vs vacheron 49150 pusher quality

Hey guys. I am looking for advice on the pusher feel of the 26320 vs the vacheron overseas Chrono 49150. I owned the 49150 but sold it and now I want a 26320. I really enjoyed the tactile pusher feel on the vacheron (I am bit of a pusher snob). I felt like it was smooth as butter and when you unscrewed the pushers there was a lot space between the start point and end point when you press the pusher down (which is nice). I am unable to test the 26320 in person but I love everything else about the watch. Can anyone reassure me who has tried both watches with regards to the pusher quality and depth? Thank you very much and I hope this is not a weird topic!

AFAIK the new ROC (2017 dial options) are no longer are screw down pushers if that matters.

Screwdown pushers to me make using the chronograph function almost unusable as you almost have to prepare your watch first to use the function instead of doing it on the fly.

I haven't tried the feel on the new models but the convenience would win the day in the comparison easily vs the VC 49150.

I understand your point re screw down pushers. Usually I just leave them unscrewed all the time. No harm unless you plan to get wet.

Can't recall any issues on my old 26320, felt pretty smooth, but obviously have to faff around with it first, push downs are easier.
