I love this product, and what it has done for my Christmas lights. The Pro version is a better version but you are going to pay for it. It is more DIY which I like, with the exception of the wires. They are SMALL and FRAGILE. I'm not sure why they went with filliment and not solid. Solid would have been way more DIY and durable. I do basic electrical, but messing with these wires and cutting and splicing them is tedious and nerve wracking. They recommend a tool which I love, but it does not work well with these wires. So heads up plan ahead. Also Plan your layout. I used just the 3M adhesive for now. We are going to be getting new gutters next year so I didn't want to go overboard. Hopefully the will hold until then and then I can screw in the mounts. Also, Test the distance from the wall. It says 3 - 8cm which is about 1 to 3 inches I split the difference. I ordered the 200' box because I was unsure how far to go around. I WAY over ordered, but it's nice having backups and I can go around to the back of my house. Yes I would buy these again
