They pro versions are brighter with more LEDs, offers Matter support for automation, and offer normal (non colored) warm white color lighting for increased security. If none of these things are important to you then take the savings.

I use them as downlights for most of the year at strategic locations (doors, windows, etc). Plan it out to space the light symmetrically around these areas, dont jus start at some random end. I 3D printed brackets for all lights and used staple gun to hold wires. Test out the staple gun to ensure it doesnt pinch into the cable. It took me a typical work day to install as i was meticulous about positioning. You put in the hard effort once so you dont have to deal with putting up & taking down lights for hopefully many years.
App is fantastic and has many themes and customizations. There are tons of vids out there as well.
I paid $300 for 150' back then, $100 every 50'. This is a nicer deal...$90 every 50'.
I don't really have a way to get up that high

As for install, a lot of people are saying not to trust the 3M tape. When I was first putting them up, they did not want to stay and fell off before I could get to the end of a strand. I tried cleaning with different cleaners, but the residue would cause issues. Ended up wiping down the soffit with a damp rag, and then heating it with a small torch (was also cold during my install) til the soffit was slightly warm before sticking the 3M tape to it. Since doing that, I've only had one come off (and I'm 99% sure it's one where I didn't heat the soffit).
They've been up through blizzards, 105+ degree weather, and everything in between and have held up beautifully! I'm considering jumping on this deal to do lights around the back of my house and patio as well.

How is it better than Phillips Hue?
From my experience, the app is very bad at allowing users to take a scene and modify it, bad at after allowing you to customize the string of lights the save function does not save brightness, sometimes individual bulbs don't recall the saved color and display differently, bad because the scheduler is hidden away from the customizer, bad because the social and marketplace aspects clutter up the customization, and the UI is pretty rough.
I do like the potential the app has, except it's so rough, but maybe Hue and indoor computer lighting companies like Razer have spoiled me.
