I bought one of these but haven't used it yet. If I don't have issues with 1st layer adhesion then do I really need a cryo build plate?
I have this running now in both my Centauri Carbon and P1S. More than for Adhesion purposes, I use it because it generally doesn't need heat with PLA and very little with PETG. I spend a lot of time in the same room as my printers and it does make a difference for room temps. I'm not sure energy-wise what it saves, but the heat is my primary reason I use these.

How is the finish?Is smooth like glass or is it just less textured than sau standard stock Bambu PEI plate?

It's a bit textured, I'd say similar to the stock Bambu plate. If you want smoother, you'd want the "glacier" model. Adhesion isn't as good as the frostbite and you will need more heat, but it is smoother. I have both and I'd say 90+% I'm using the frostbite.
Probably the best upgrade for any 3D printer that supports a cool plate. I'd recommend using the Frostbite build plate over Glacier. While both are good, Frostbite does have better adhesion albeit a slightly courser texture. I've also had issues with a Glacier build plate leaving blue residue on some prints and the plate surface deteriorating somewhat after many hours of use. Frostbite plate still works good as new after about 800 hours and I never even had to clean it.

Before I tried the biqu cryogrip panda (grey) that was on Amazon a few weeks ago but that still works for large items
Since the supertack is somehow always on sale at bambu I bought a few more.
Is the frost grip much better than cryogrip panda grey?
(Those names are really bad for comparisons...)
