Good product, late delivery
The kit itself is amazing and works as advertised. Shipping took longer than expected though.

Great board, minor issues
Love the Python support and the new microphone. Battery holder feels a bit flimsy but works fine.

Upgrade from v1
The speaker and microphone additions make this worth the upgrade from the original version.
