Hyd Thumb on new digger

Looking to put a hydraulic thumb on new KX080. The conversation with salesman suggested warranty would be ok unless a problem that thumb could have caused, which is fair enough. What is the collective opinion?
Also any recommended makes, there seem to be plenty about but some look flimsy, some don’t fold back far enough in my opinion. Buckets that came with it are Keen and their thumb looks like it could be worth a look?
TIA

Had a manual one from Digbits which I wished I went hydraulic. Managed to bend it slightly!!

Has anyone used a grab bucket? They look like a good idea to me and would save welding but I've only seen them on YouTube.

I cant post a link for some reason, perhaps because I’m new, keen attachments have a grab bucket.
Looks ok good for picking up that last bit of dirt etc but a thumb will work with any suitable bucket or attachment like a ripper and is always there plumbed in ready to go
