If it's easy how could you be doing it wrong? It could just be the lock you have (ie; shot springs, pins too small for the lock...ect)

Slimline are slimmer excellent for restrictive keyways and most anything from overseas. So are they worth the extra $$$, depends if you think you'll be confronting any locks of a slim nature. On the other hand you can use slimline on both slim and non-slim locks vs non-slim picks rarely if ever fit in small or restrictive keyways.
It comes down to the usere and his/her needs
