Bloomberg vs Mechanical Keyboards

Starting a new gig soon. Whole bullpen uses mechanical keyboards at my bank but noticed the shop I'm going to mostly had Bloombergs. Is there a reason to use one of those over a mechanical? I like to clicky clack. 

Thanks

1) Some bloomberg keyboards have authentication build in, if you have the smartphone app it should work without it.
2) Not all custom commands from these kind of keyboards can be replicated using QMK or other software. Check on reddit and the known mech keeb places if this could work.

I have taken apart a bloomberg once and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. so YMMV.
