Does the Domain Control Panel Matter More Than the Search Box?

Many people compare registrars by price, domain search, and checkout. That is important, but I think the control panel matters more after the domain is actually in use. Once a website goes live, customers need to renew domains, update nameservers, manage DNS records, change contact details, set domain lock, get auth codes, approve transfers, and sometimes manage many domains at once.

For agencies, hosting providers, and resellers, this can become a real issue. If the control panel is hard to use, every small domain task turns into extra support work.
A clean first registration is good, but it does not show what the registrar is like six months later when the customer needs help managing the domain.

For people managing client domains, do you care more about the control panel experience or the lowest possible registration price?
