RE: I was surprised by how tricky it was to attach the display!
My printer arrived on the 7th, no way to know if I got a "longer" cable or not but it took me 20 minutes to get that damn screen attached. @Jürgen, I agree adding an inch to that cable should not be causing any issues. I got one print out (little Benchy) and the extruder jammed during my second print so I am already looking at maintenance issues after just one print. My MK3S still runs almost flawlessly having had minimal maintenance for years.
RE:
I was OK with the length of the cable (Core One Kit, Batch 1). What I don't love is the connector. It's difficult to feel the alignment before trying to seat it even with the one little plastic alignment tab. Even without cable length concerns, you're pushing it in somewhat blindly once your fingers are in there.

Batch 2 here. I cut the front most zip tie and removed the steel bar. Then it went pretty well.

Finished my build today, it was a little tricky but there was 'just' enough cable to get it attached, but it was fiddly.
