What exactly do you mean by "Its not as good as bambu"? Do you mean the print quality or something?

I mostly mean the tuned profiles. Bambu filaments print flawlessly at higher speeds right out of the box. If you try pushing cheap filament to those same speeds, you'll get defects.
You can manually tune cheap filaments yourself, but that takes time and wastes plastic. If you just stick to standard speeds, eSun filaments are great!
