I used to love that tap to start and stop firmware and I resisted updating for a long time. I've lately found that the Red Panda Tensor does a great job of everything I liked about it.
I'm happy to have my Ct5 for the Nightly firmware now.
Yeah, i have both, usually one at the beginning and one at the end of the chain, and which-one-goes-where is one of the constant doubts i have each time i re-wire the board.

LOVE to use the CT5 for pitch shifting duties: MODE 1, feedback set to 0, very short LEN, and DIR1 set to whatever shifting i need. It 's basically a pitch shifter with a fast-tremolo feel caused by the very fast read head speed.
Even though the tracking on the Tensor is probably better, the feeling i got from this setting on the CT5 is uncomparable: it's more aggressive, plus with the secondary knob options i can filter out some of the unavoidable high frequencies derivated from pitch shifting.
Placing the CT5 at the beginning of the chain lets me have a good tracking and at the same time i can record 8s loops in MODE3 and then modify those with the subsequent stuff, and this is why i'd love to have more precise loops with a standard tap-based function: so i can record a riff on time with the drummer/click/whatever and then add effects to it.
Usually i end up with the CT5 at the beginning and Tensor at the end for standard looping/sampling, reverse looping, and general randomness - i just wish its leght was longer instead of its 4.8s
