Ninjago 71837 Workshop so bad ?

I read and listen many negative opinions about this set but I think it's not fair. I wanted to complete my ninjago gardens and the MOC I created with something more and I was seriously thinking to buy the 500 euros Ninjago set (new price because it's retired). In a second time, I was also wondering and doubting with buying workshop (220 euros) and I decided to do it due to the price and now I don't regret at all. True connecting is not perfect, but it's very easy to fix and it's not so weird....
