Ditto, no complaints or problems here. If anything using a torque wrench for low torque fasteners reminded me that I tend to under-torque rather than over. I'd only used the larger torque wrenches for motorcycles and cars. Now that I'm rebuilding my first all carbon fiber bike, a Diamondback Podium frame from a friend, pretty much from scratch (it only has the crankset, original fork and headset), I wanted to be cautious.
However I can see the convenience of the single torque setting wrenches with long bits for easily reaching some fasteners in positions that would be awkward with a beam torque wrench. Especially for a production line or shop where time is money.
But I'll probably just get a larger beam torque wrench for the rest of the bike. There's usually a way to read the beam pointer graph while working.
