For those that do BIAB electric systems, do you lose versatility to perform certain functions? Does efficiency take a hit? Do you sparge in those things or is it a different process?

I have more versatility with my eBIAB setup than I did with my old propane setup. I can brew low to high gravity no problem. I can step mash easier. I can brew quicker. I can brew in any weather. All around a better system for my needs than what I had.

Over four batches I've averaged right at 75% efficiency.

I don't sparge, at least not for the 5 gallon batches I've done so far. I might have to if I do a 10 gallon batch that pushes 1.050+. Say I'm doing a 6 gallon batch, I'll fill it with 8.75 gallons and biab from there. After grain absorption and boil off I'm down to my final volume in the fermenter.
