Competition and Hardstyle kettlebells

Since Hephaestus released the Bell Plex kettlebells, I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a conversation about the differences between competition and hardstyle kettlebells.

I know there are plenty of YouTube videos on the subject, but many of them seem more focused on convincing people to adopt one style over the other than on offering a balanced comparison.

I started with hardstyle bells, but I haven’t used them in years. These days I train exclusively with adjustable competition bells (including two Hephaestus Wildman adjustable 40 kg bells).

I’d love to hear the strengths and tradeoffs of both styles. Instead of trying to answer which is better, I'd love to hear how the design of each implement uniquely influences the training experience? Maybe Carlos could even do a video on the subject? Anyone else interested?
