I think that it is good that you can see your therapists good points and his bad points.
I do agree with Daisy that this might not be the best time for you to make a change. But that doesn't mean that you can't consider what it might be like with a different therapist.
I like to think about my situation by thinking that I needed one kind of therapist at the beginning, but a different kind of therapist now (and who knows what I'll need in 5 years?).
One of the reasons I left my first therapist was that she wouldn't/couldn't go deeper with me. She did try, but it was clear that it wasn't something she was comfortable with - it didn't match her orientation.
You will, however, never find another therapist like your current one. Just like we are all unique, so are our therapists. But, then again, if you wanted a therapist who was exactly like your therapist, then you could just stay with him!
Certainly an interesting topic to think about.
