SIZE/LENGTH:
The 600 light string has the plug in the middle, and each side has 300 lights spaced at 3.5" apart. From the plug, you have two strings of around 79'
They are snow/rain resistant, but the instructions say not to use them below 14°F. If you live in an area that gets colder than this, think hard about whether you want to risk it.
These cannot be physically connected to other sets. You can "map" them so they work in conjunction with other sets but.... mapping has issues (see below)
These cannot be mapped together with RGB-W sets. I haven't personally used those, but reviews online say to avoid mixing them, period.
MAPPING:
The mapping feature is solid if you're using these in a small area (like a tree/bush) but atrocious if you have these hanging on your roof/gutter.
The built-in patterns do not run from end to end. Some of them start at random places along the string. Say you wanted to "wipe" from one end to the other... good luck!
Two options for mapping: use your phone camera to take one short video and map only what you can see or (2) take multiple videos from multiple angles to make a full 3D map
The mapping will time out if you wait about 45 seconds between mapping "runs" and you will have to start over completely
If you move the camera during any single capture it will give you an error and you have to start over completely
Your phone must remain on the same WiFi network as your lights while you map them (if these are outside... hope you have good signal!)
It makes a 3D map. Picture yourself standing in front of your house. Can you see the lights on the sides of the house? If you "wiped" from left to right, those side lights would all turn on at the same time since they're in the same plane on the 3D map. (Hard to explain, sorry...)
It took us at least 2 hours (and probably 10 attempts) to get a map completed, and when it was done the layout was so bad we erased it. What a waste of time!
Bottom line: If you're using these on your roof/gutter, don't bother with mapping.
Having said all of this, we used some unexpected store credit to buy the 600-string set. We've gotten a TON of complements from neighbors, family members, etc, and we still recommend these. The mapping is frustrating, but if you want to have different patterns or colors, it's a very straightforward way to do it. I'm sure their trees, grid lights, etc are a much better implementation of their software
The first set I purchased was placed on one evergreen tree in a moving candy cane pattern. Once my wife saw them she asked that we get more.

I recommend getting the RGB-W ones if you like the standard warm white christmas light look. The standard RGB white looks blueish to me.

Note: These are great for Halloween as well!
Sorry, totally noob here. What's the difference between this at BB and the one on Esbenshades? Also, are both gen 2, whatever that means. I want to make informed decision before I jump into without knowing the real difference. TIA.

For reference, I have 4,200 Twinkly lights outside. 1,200 each on two maple trees and a large bush, and 600 along my roof line.
