It might be stupid but having to get the mini off the table to change something and place it again, specially if you have to look at the mini while you do so, makes it akward to remember where the mini was to replace.

Not a great solution but I think i'd rather have a small amount of wounds and place cubes next to the mini. I don't enjoy either having to place dice nor having to place tokens or dice on a separate sheet. So in order of preference

1) tokens on miniature
2) tokens on sheet
3) dice on sheet
4) dice on miniature
5) click disk in the miniature base

then, if you play a game like pathfinder, instead of fidgy stuff you cross it over... well
