I got the Zeal blades to replace the one stock SAB blade with a hole in the tip, that happened on a tip over landing because of a power loss. This power loss may have been because of a hot motor (added a bigger heatsink and a fan) or a weak BEC. I twitched the cyclic servos on the bench and was able to overload the Castle 5A BEC and cause a shutdown. I added an external BEC capacitor and repeated the test. No shutdown! I may add a Castle 7A external BEC later though.
I picked up a Soko Tools setup kit because of the app which guides you during the setup process. It also has a feature which allows you to complete the setup without a perfectly level surface. You can also level the swash without taking the rotor head off :). I repeated the setup of my 380 with the tool and after I got the hang of using it, I liked it much better than a traditional digital pitch gauge. Mostly because you only need to take the blades off and don't need a level working surface.
