if you use something for some time you get used to it, even if it really
isnt all that logical (like pressing the 'Start' button to shutdown your
system ;-)
the thing is that it makes the gui more consistent : in all other places on
the gui we use a 2-button toggle system, but only this button works
differently
IMO it's important to keep the gui simple and consistent, especially for
new users

both terms are ok for me, take your pick
btw the other 2 icons ('quant' and 'hear') are also different. The
difference is not that big, but the new buttons have the same size/colour
as all other buttons on the gui, so it's best to also change those too.
let me know if i can help you with cutting/editing/changing any of the
buttons/text for the gui
