Pros & Cons
Pros
Having upgraded my ender 3 motherboard to the 4. Great upgrade for your ender3 v2. Instructions aren't easy to follow but loads of videos online to help.
Highlights
Quality
Since using this the quality of my prints have improved.
Comes with a metal bracket, no more floppy plastic bracket like with the bltouch
For year's i've wasted hours leveling with the paper method.
I just unplugged the bl touch, took it off and then replaced it with the new supplied bracket, plugged it in with the original ... Read More

Competitiveness
Wish i had bought them/the bl touch for my printers years ago.
I use in combination with octoprint and bed leveling has simply ceased to be an issue.

One other niggle when you manually set your bed level with a bit of tweaking you can get it absolutely spot on not so with this or the bl touch for that matter the z axis adjustments only work to 0

Oh nearly forgot theres different versions of the updated firmware on the site make sure you download the version from the cr touch section and not the mainboard support page it makes a difference apparently

I dont know if it actually makes any odds but this comes with a metal sensing pin whereas the bl touch is plastic and comes with replacements which to me suggests the manufacturers of the bl know theyre prone to breaking so i opted for this maybe just a preference but at least think about it before you buy another option
