Cable chain really isn't needed. Just releasing the cables and letting them hang free works good too.

Yes, and I bet you it takes more heat to heat the top up because glass is an insulator.
On my printer I am just going to print me an endstop holder for my hall effect endstop I made. I never once had this sort of repeatability using a mechanical endstop. When I used to use ABL I could see the repeatability of the mechanical endstops and it was good to the second decimal place so for X and Y no big deal but for Z it mattered for me. One thing I do plan on changing sometime in the future is the leadscrew because 8pitch has errors for all of the layer heights I use and while most people it doesn't matter for my stuff, and considering a 2 pitch leadscrew is under 8 bucks, it does. I will do some printing with it, a lot of printing, to see how much error I will see in the real world on my parts I make.

In this class of printer there really is no such thing as Auto Leveling, the electronics don't have the connections to do it right. A mechanical switch trams the Z height accurately enough.

It looks better when it is covered with tech flex, this is the only photo I have of the arrangement. It is also lighter weight and probably doesn't make as much noise as a cable chain. I like keeping things simple and effective.
