6:49 You know you can configure multiple sheets on the printer? Go into Settings->HW Settings->Steel Sheets, and then you can set Z height for both. It will put an item in the top level menu where you can click it to switch back and forth between sheets. No need to manually adjust Z height every time, just don’t forget to switch when you change the sheets :P
My opinion is basically the same. I only print TPU and PETG. PETG gets printed on the textured sheet, TPU gets printed on the smooth sheet. Either because of the materials or maybe because of the kinds of things I print in each material, that is what works best for me. BUT! Just this week I got the “Satin” sheet finally. I need to use it more to make sure, but I think I may start using only that for everything. So far it has really been like they say, a middle ground between the texture and the smooth sheets. But if you paid €50 for the textured sheet, you won’t like the price of the Satin. It’s $10 more than the Texture, so probably almost €70 for you… 😬
I have two Prusa's. One with the flat plate and one with the textured. I run mostly PETG. I prefer the textured plate as it releases the best. I need to wipe the flat plate each time with IPO or it will stick a little too well. The textured sheet I just use Windex after each print. Happy either way.
Purchased a Prusa MK3 over a year ago and it came with the powder coated sheet. I pretty much only print PLA and have had trouble with this surface. I had it working well for a while, but recently I can't get anything to stick. I'm going to buy the smooth sheet and see how my results change.

How is the longevity of the textured sheet? I ordered one after a disappointing lifespan for the smooth PEI sheet, adhesion of the first layer started failing unless slowed down to very slow speeds even with meticulous cleaning with isopropanol, acetone and dish soap.
yeah well mine curls the filament on the first path every time on this sheet. I've tried so many settings to fix it. Every time it moves and starts to print again a small amount, maybe 2 mm of filament curls up. If I run the first layer calibration it works fine. I don't get it.
Take a look at this PEI sheet: th-cam.com/video/MC_PYVaZiCY/w-d-xo.html

(the option to switch sheets won’t appear in the main menu until you calibrate the second sheet via HW Settings)
Having also both sheets I agree 100%.

The first question that came to mind was PETG. The first comment was your regarding PETG. Thanks Bill

They switched at one point the default plate. Before that the default was smooth
@@PSAfterHours I think I'll buy the smooth sheet and see how it goes. If I print with a raft, things tend to work much better

I have mine for roughly 4 years. Work fine for hobby use I suppose
@@PSAfterHours thanks, sounds promising!
