The skate laces are definitely a bit less durable than the nylon lacing, but chances are you won't have any problem with them. The advantage to using them is that they help soften the impact of the puck in the pocket. When you catch the puck in the pocket, the impact will feel more "cushiony" - if that's a word. Drawback would be durability - as the laces tend to absorb moisture and could break more easily. That being said, we don't hear of many skate lace pockets breaking so I think you'll be fine.

Question
thumb angle?
I have the 7490 glove and like it very much, except that I would prefer a more vertical thumb angle. Does the 7800 have a more upright thumb? Or should I look at Vision/Ventus models?

The 7800 does have a more vertical thumb angle than the 7490, and the Ventus/Vision has a more vertical thumb angle than the 7800 does. According to Vaughn, if you're noticing a lot of puck marks on the finger side of the pocket, then you'll want to stay with the 7490. If you're taking a lot of shots off of the thumb mold, then you'll want to move towards the 9500.

If you're looking for a Vaughn glove with the most vertical thumb angle, then then T5500 TG glove would be the way to go. The link for that glove is below, and I've also attached a video for it as well:
