  The idea that a fixed tip will last longer than a replaceable tip is more hype.  Also you'll hear that the "connectors" will wear out.  Again that's more hype.  I have three pens and about dozen tips.  One pen has a fixed tip and the other two use replaceable tips.  The connectors are strong enough that the likely hood of a problem is small.  Also a new pen is pretty cheap.  The connecting pins on the tip are easily cleaned.  
  I haven't had any problems with the replaceable tips.  If all a company offers is fixed tips they'll try to sell that "wear out" concept.  There's a bit of a marketing thing I've seen.  If you design an inferior product, jack up the price and poor on the hype.  There's always a sucker around to buy it.

    The problem with the replaceable tips is that eventually you will break or wear out the contact area.
