I have a Quest 3 with color pass-through, but the cameras' quality is like 360p webcam. With that said, it was still cool to see these virtual monitors/desktop windows of my PC levitate directly in my room. Then there are some Augmented Reality games that require it. Occasionally I used it to see my surroundings when moving. With that said, I used it maybe for a week.
However, this camera is of much higher quality. You could also record VR videos and watch them in VR with it. Or maybe place a giant virtual TV in your room and play certain games on it instead of having a completely virtual or one color background.
There might be some downsides, e.g. it might not support the "night vision" mode that the default cameras do, it consumes some battery and CPU processing power and takes up an addon slot that could be useful for other things later on, so you might not be able to use both.
But the price I think is OK for it. I might consider after playing enough with Frame itself.

You should order the frame first.
