They sell a mesh core version and from what I can tell, there is no difference aside from the case. I use this with MC, with no probs.

This is a good deal! Ordered two more MeshCore version.

MeshCore is WAY better than Meshtastic. Meshtastic doesn't work with a mesh with a hundred of devices. With MeshCore, messages go from Vancouver, BC, to Bellingham, Lynnwood, Seattle, Olymipa, the other Vancouver, WA, to Portland, Salem, Eugene, all the way to Medford, OR. That is from BC, Northern Washington, to Southern Oregon.

From Seattle, there is now a link over 3 mountain top MeshCore repeaters over the Rocky Mountains to Central Washington to Wenatchee!

If building a mesh network that you can message to your friends and families across state lines interests you, MeshCore is it.

Do you have to flash it to core?

it comes flashed with MeshCore Bluetooth Companion firmware. You can use it right away. To get the latest features, you will want to flash to the latest firmware on https://meshcore.io. It is very simple and easy.

Is there a reason to get this over the Heltec ESP32 based repeaters, like total power consumption or range/Tx power/Rx sensitivity?

I just picked up a couple of repeater kits for ~$25 each (one w/o GNSS, one with) for a personal project using meshtastic, so I'm curious what advantages this offers. (There is maybe one mesh core or meshtastic node within 100 miles of me, so a dense network isn't an issue, and I'm only looking to track a single item within a small, potentially uninhabited area).

For use at home, I tend to agree, MeshCore is great (I'm in Phoenix).

However, Meshtastic has its place where there is no repeater infrastructure, like on cruise ships where having client nodes that can relay messages across the mesh is beneficial. These can be flashed easily between the two. Battery life is great!

MeshCore has a companion repeat mode that you can turn on for all your Bluetooth companions and they will all repeat to each other. This mode is great for camping or on a cruise ship. You can also bring your own repeater and keep it near your tent or in your room on a cruise ship. If you have friends and family in multiple rooms across the ship you can have a repeater at each room.

I have done both on a cruise ship and when I camped. MeshCore's Android and iOS apps have identical user interface and features. It is easy to use understand and use, unlike the convoluted and overly complicated user interface on Meshtastic. Meshtastic's phone apps on Android and iOS are completely different, they make it much harder to use if you have both Android and iOS phones in your party.

If battery life is a concern, the Nordic chipset in this node is very power efficient compared to ESP32. Tx is probably more average, although I believe there is a 1W amp module, but wouldn't fit in this case. Heltec V4 is known for having good Tx out of the box.
