Hopefully someone else will chime in here too. I have no experience with the papatum, but I do have a couple of MT's.  I think they would work well for you, they are NOT at all hard to figure out. I managed to figure it out with my ds on the first try, and i'm pretty uncoordinated and not good at following directions :)  Plus, they come in all sorts of colors and fabrics, you're sure to find something you'll love!
