Looking into a Sonic Pad Y or N

Basic Information:

Ender 3 V2 Neo
v4.2.7:

I know there was a thread looking for an update. I have an Ender 3 v2 Neo with BL Touch, Sprite Extruder Pro, and a v4.2.7 board. It took me a while (as a newbie) to get it all configured. I am now looking into a Sonic Pad but not sure if it is worth the hassle it seems to be for configuration. Has anyone mastered this process? I think the Sonic Pad would be a cool upgrade.
Thank you and any advice (laymen please) would be greatly appereciated.
