Can't comment on synch. - don't use it. Otherwise the bridge works fantastically well. Haven't had any issues with plugins either. The Beam has good sound and Alexa/Google built-in: also airplay2, but I've never got the airplay2 to work with the airplay plugin. I have 2 Play 1s - they work fine. The worst aspect I've found (and Sonos are to blame here) is the 'native' conroller software. You need a recent Android/iPad smartphone to set the sonos device up (the Win PC controller has been crippled & can't be used for setup - there's no web browser access nor a linux controller). Moving to a different network or a new router is a version of 'black magic' - makes LMS almost plug'n'play by comparison.
