I would go further down this rabbit hole.

From user’s perspective isn’t it that you can set up the same policies on both? Knots is more restrictive at start then Core but you can filter the same transactions on Core as well as remove filters on Knots? I’m not sure if it is true as I can see on Ocean site recommendation for Knots as being more customizable.

Currently I am running Core and plan to set up Datum on top of that so I can practically verify what actually I can do with Core’s policies.
