Yow...
I've yet to have a machine that had a trackpoint that it didn't need to be disabled after a few months of use. Every one of the trackpoints seemed to randomly start moving the pointer in one direction or another and so you had to put constant pressure on it in the opposite direction to keep the mouse in a still state. I'll NEVER buy a machine with one of those in it now. To date, none of them was ever repaired and lasted longer than a few months either. The systems were fine other than that issue.

So my experience was quite the opposite of yours as it comes to trackpoint as an input device. If they would stay working, I'd love to use them because I agree about the removing hand from the home position being less than efficient.
