Which version of LEGO Mindstorms EV3 should I buy?

Some friends asked us which version of EV3 they should buy for their kids. We recommend the home version of EV3 will meet most of the needs. It will be good enough for kids to learn or for FLL teams to participate the FLL competition. LEGO Mindstorms EV3 is now $349.95 at Amazon. It is a good deal. It is lots of cheaper than the education version.
