What size are you after? If Creality don't make one for their own printer, then that's just another reason to avoid there products.
Flexible build plates are definitely worth it in my opinion. Makes removing very large or really small prints easy and depending on the type of filament you print having the choice of a textured PEI over smooth is important.

Oh it's a resin printer, most of my points above still stand.

I’ve always been mystified as to the appeal of flexi build plates for resin. Surely it’s just more mess, more to clean, and I don’t see the upside. I’ve always just knocked my prints off and put it back, I don’t even clean it unless I’m changing resin or don’t plan to print again for a long time.
I’d be interested to hear the positives to them.

The build plate is 127 x 80. But the sizes they do are larger but say its for the Halot One. Quite a lot bigger : https://www.creality.shop/products/...ible-steel-build-plate-kits-138-78mm-138-85mm
I thought it maybe easier to remove the prints from but so far haven't had any issues removing them. Though I haven't had the printer long

So I felt the same before I got a flex plate to test for WhamBam. You can still use it the way you currently do, so from a clean up point of view it changes nothing. As part of my testing I printed everything from a plate full small flat objects, to large almost solid stuff as well a delicate stuff. I found before a flex plate I could damage stuff from scrapping or knocking it off, with a flex plate I didn't.
As with all things, some people find things pointless and not worth it. whereas some will never not use that thing. I have since gone away from resin printing but all my FDM printers use flex plates I love them.
