A Little Birdie Told Me Battle of the layered roses sets! Which one?

We recently just got Mom a MISTI stamping tool for her birthday. She has arthritis and struggled using the acrylic blocks to line up stuff. She LOVES her MISTI tool, and she has asked about the layered roses sets. I'd like to buy her one of them for Mother's Day.

I have the Altenew Vintage Flower one and find it challenging to line up, even using the MISTI. So I'd like to find one that is easier, if that is possible. I've done some research and found the following sets.
Which set is easiest to use and line up? I'm looking for low frustration level here.

Altenew Vintage Roses
PTI - The Sweet Life
Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms

Any other suggestions and feedback is appreciated!
Stamp on,
J

Here's one by Kitchen Sink:

I don't know how easy it is to line it up though.

I can't say any of them are better but a little tip is that once I figure out the alignment I use a sharpie and draw an arrow on the back of the stamps to show how to align them. Now if I stamp with the arrow going in the same direction I'll have them lined up correctly.

I love stippled blossoms but I think I saw it on the retirement list today so it may not be available by now.

What a great idea, thank you!
