Thanks for your input!

I have been manually leveling my bed for 3 years now and never had a problem. My concern with ABL/Mesh Leveling is the fact you are relying upon a servo and its movement to ensure you get repeatable results. That is why the BL Touch intrigues me because the only part that moves is the pin which theoretically should provide better results.

I will also have a month off of work to get everything dialed in.
