The circa £100 price tag is significant, and so you will need to decide whether it is worth such an investment - it is certainly not a "must have" that I would be inclined to rave about, more like "significantly better than the free alternatives". It is not however a fantastic, huge improvement - just enough to be "nice". I've not yet played around with too many of the settings, so it is probable I could get it a bit better with some fine tuning. I had control over exactly where to place support, and the support broke away easily from the completed print with almost no clean-up required. One of my prints needed support, and that is where this application really shines. That is probably due to the "coast to end" feature, but I'm not certain. A major improvement is that I get far less curl-up on overhangs (such as the top of horizontal holes) and corner blobbing.
