Pros & Cons
Pros
It is at this point that i want to address something that a lot of folks are mulling over. The one difference is the shape of the lcd display. One other difference is in the packaging.
Cons
Arduino products are great but cheap sensors break all the time so defective carriers are bound to happened. It’s probably safer to just by cheap sensors in bulk and wire up yourself. Wouldn't recommend this kit.

At first glance this seems like a steep price for a handful of items and i have to admit i was skeptical too
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
One other difference is in the packaging
The opla kit comes in a cardboard box which is used for parts storage unless you supply your own storage container
Competitiveness
I will try to compare the documentation of the two kits in another week or so after my explore kit is delivered
The major difference between these two kits is the intended purpose the opla kit is intended for use by experimentersbuilders w... Read More

But the hidden gem in all of this is the 12months of free internet access to the arduino server where you can access your projects from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or computer
