[KCD2] Crossbow enthusiasts, are the varieties that use the Goat's Leg ever worth it?

I've finally gotten into archery after sticking to mostly melee pre-Kuttenberg. I prefer the look and feel of crossbows over bows. I recently bought the strongest crossbow, but didn't realize it had that huge wind up time from the goat's leg lever/pulley. Do any of you crossbow fans use these or do you stick to the varieties that can be loaded by hand?
