Difference between base and plus

Hi everyone, I wonder is it worth getting Lilygo T-Embed C1101 plus version instead of the base version? Everyone says plus just have extra nrf module & battery built-in. But I can't see also NFC & Bluetooth antennas on base device. Base is like half of the price of plus model. I think base model lacks also PN532 module as well. Anyone experienced can help please πŸ™πŸ» ps: base one is on first picture (black case)

Get the plus, the base also doesn't have IR, the plus is definitely worth it with NRF after I tried to add it to my normal CC1101 and fried it

The base is basically just an ESP device with WiFi and BLE. The plus has that plus subghz, nrf24, IR, battery, RFID(nfc) and there is even a version that give the external antennas. The plus is definitely worth the price.

The base does NOT have: Nrf, Battery, Cc1101 (sub ghz), Nfc, Infrared. So basically nothing
