Basically you print a layer of PLA then continue with ASA or ABS on top of it.

I use ASA a lot for work and for personal car parts. It has mostly the same properties of ABS with ASA being more UV resistant.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily easier. Idk because it's subjective. I haven't had a single problem with ASA in my X1 Carbon. But I could see the A1 having trouble.
ASA is prone to elephant footing and pealing off the bed when ambient temps fluctuate and don't stay warm. I've seen people use adhesives but I have never needed it. Brims or mouse ears at the least can help resolve this. Not always necessary. Enough surface area and heat makes ASA stick to the bed like super glue with only a slow temperature drop being able to release it.
At this price it's worth buying and experimenting. ASA is expensive normally, $20-$25/kg.
Also if you live in the US south, it holds up to being in a hot car during a 100°F day rather well.
