Hi! I have always endorsed the idea about fused tiles. The tiles themselves do not necessarily have to be very thick. Slightly thincker than the ones found on the impossiball will be enough. On those tiles only a very small pin is enough to fix them firmly to the puzzle pieces (discs).

The exchangeable tiles are what I'd hoped the Mefferts cubes would be. Instead they were glued on, except for the centers. And the turning...ugh. Since I'm obsessed with color schemes, I think it would be awesome if they made one with swappable tiles in about 20 different colors. *drool*
