D&D Character Sheets in Roll20

Hi All,  For over a year I have been using D&DBeyond character sheets while using Roll20 VTT at the request of other players but I find it tedious to switch tabs.  I have been thinking of just either switching all sheets to Roll20 or using D&DBeyond for everything.  As I am not familiar with Roll20 character sheets I would like to ask a couple of questions.  How well do Roll20 character sheets for D&D work?  Are they easy to use to find abilities, set up and manage?   Also is there an easy way to transfer a character sheet from D&DBeyond to Roll20?   Thank-you

The D&D 5e 2024 by Roll20 character sheet (also known as the 2024/2014 sheet) is still a work in progress. It is missing a number of features such as a light mode, printability, upcasting on custom spells, etc.  Personally I use the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet for D&D 5e 2024.  But that has both advantages and drawbacks. The advantage is that I can customize it very easily. The drawback is that it doesn't allow drag/drop from the Compendium for 2024 content and there is no character builder (Charactermancer) for the 2024 content on the 2014 sheet. As a result setting up the spells can take longer.  But you can use the API with the 2014 sheet while the API use on the 2024 sheet is still in its infancy.  So it really depends on what you need. Do you want to use API Scripts on the sheet? Do you want a sheet that has a powerful builder in it or are you happy with doing things old school (manually)?
Thank-you.  I was used to using the character sheet builder in DnD beyond.  While I found DnDbeyond VTT to be very basic(which is why I use for now Roll20 ) their character sheet builder I find to be one of their best(and few great ) tools.  I wouldn't mind using API scripts but I would have to look at the work involved.
