fold down push handles?

[KPeveler]

I am getting a new Quickie GT wheelchair, and I am torn about the push handles - I don't know whether i want the push-down handles or not...

can anyone tell me if the fold-down ones last?

can i hand a back pack from them?

are they easy to push?

I can't get my vendor to give me a straight answer, and he is being a pain in the rear anyway, so i figured i would appeal to people here... what do people think? thanks!!!
