Pros
+ Though not required, I do recommend the screen. It provides details about your node without the need to access the interface. It is also eye candy
+ Just Bitcoin
+ FOSS (free and open-source software)
+ Https: local network communication is encrypted
+ Nice CLI
Cons
- Unlike all other nodes, it does not provide a url to access the interface, but instead you need the IP (it is displayed on the optional screen)
- The installation process can seem more complex for a noob, e.g. having to select a Lightning client
- No update notifications
