The design grammar is different. But I find it easier, because you don’t have to deal with the 4-4-5 assymetrc geometry.

That said, finding the connector that re-orients holes the way you need can ne a challenge. I have a collection of all the technic connectors and spend a fair amount of time trying multiple prototypes.

So I guess overall it is much easier to get a robust structure, but it can take some time to get there.

The assymetric geometry brings back memories. Trying to tie a stack of bricks together with a "girder" vertical across connected with the pegs!

I guess there's upsides and down. I think what bugs me is each brick before was more variable. You could build a corner if you needed to. Agreed not nearly as structurally sound thoughm
