Does anyone have an opinion on either of these Compute Modules + pi-top [3] combinatons?
-
Waveshare CM4-NANO-B + Pi CM4 or CM5 looks promising though will it will involve a lot of cable)

Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-B + Pi CM4 or CM5 (this would reuse the GPIO and and heat bridge but would require re-positioning the double-USB ribbon cable to the second opening in the pitop case - how hard is this? It seems people preferred to cut through the case instead so I am assuming it is not an easy cable to move.) So that might leave the first pairing as the only option. https://www.waveshare.com/product/cm4-to-pi3-adapter.htm
I am aware there are some more ‘plug and play’ pitop3 compatible SBC options from Banana Pi, Libre (Potato, Alta/Cottonwood, Renegade) , Asus Tinkerboard , etc but if possible I would to stay in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem… if possible…
opinions / experiences from those who have used the compute modules with the pitop 3?
