I would rather have a loud click than no click at all. I have had two phones (iPhone 4 and iPhone 5) and the power button failed on both of theses phones. Of course, the phone was out of warranty in both cases. On the 4, when I took it to Apple they told me I was SOL and that I would have to live with ether really mashing the button down to get it to work or buy a new phone. I was pissed, but the 5 was due to come out soon and I was planning on upgrading, so I let it slide. Eventually, I upgraded to the 5 and to my astonishment, after a year and a half of use, the power button started having the same stinking issue (very hard pressure to engage). I took it to Apple they gave me the same answer, you are SOL. You can ether use the new iOS7 soft buttons, or buy a new phone. This time I was really pissed, because I was planning on keeping this phone a while longer and I could not believe Apple did not redesign this button for heaver use. Eventually, I talked to one of the store managers and, out of the goodness of his heart, he offered me a one time warranty on my phone and gave me a replacement. Now I use the soft buttons as a mater of GP to save the wear and tear on the hard buttons. Twice bitten... Long story short, I would rather have a loud click, than a wimpy button.
