Ever bought a programmable robot for a child? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

We bought an mbot last year https://www.makeblock.com/products/buy-mbot

Excitement was there, but it has had limited play. It's a neat product, but fussy to program, so it's not fun.
