I also realize people use batteries in far more demanding settings with no individual cell balancing, but... it's "correct" to use a BMS and not fair to compare directly to BMS equipped batteries.
In a car, I think having the original fitment plastic case, SAE post terminals, and a BMS, all assembled, is well worth an added 120 bucks.

BMS from Aliexpress is a few bucks more.
I bought some balancers and intend to use them going forward. Don’t care for full BMS though as it’s just another parasitic load.
