I've wanted to build a watercooled itx build for some time now. I've considered the Meshlicious, and now this one, since I'd rather it has a small footprint. I wonder which one would be "easier" to work with. Cooling capacity of 280 and 360 rads is pretty similar, so that isn't really a factor.

this is the first Corsair case in a long time to pique my interest. looking at Meshlicious and the Meshify mini too. the iCue has long been my major con with Corsair both w/ controller and software. at least here they pop in the controller but that still keeps you in their ecosystem and unless you want bloated software & conflicts you can't mix and match whatever fans you want. particularly with aio's as this would be a major motivator to make someone buy their aio.
