Having gone through the Voron build, I would call it long vs hard. I am mechanically inclined and have crimped wiring before though.
Mechanically, if you're not intimidated by IKEA furniture you'll be fine. You do need a largeish flat surface to get the 2020 rails to all be flat when you snug them up, but a kitchen counter will do if you don't have anything else.
Wiring wise, if you're willing to spring for a ratcheting crimper with the correct die size for your terminal and wire gauge it becomes foolproof. If you use a non-ratcheting type grab some extra wire and terminals to practice on. Too lose = poor connection. Too tight = you'll break the wires.
The Voron docs are pretty easy to follow and their forums are pretty solid for help. They also have a discord, but I'm old and prefer BBS style posts.
I've built my first Voron self-sourced, then got a good deal on an unused V0.2 kit, I've got to say that the LDO kit was like child's play, so I have to recommend them.
BOM in a box is absolutely they way to go IMO. I ordered a customizable kit from West 3D and it contained everything I needed and more.
Yeah but LDO had the wires pre-made and everything, custom PCBs etc
Mine also came with premade harnesses and all the necessary PCBs. Granted, I chose to cut the harnesses down in length so everything under the bed was a bit cleaner.
Yeah but many kits aren't like that, so the less... electrically inclined should be wary
