You must upload the files prior to import and split them if necessary instead of streaming the import. I found this to be much faster than Adv EP. Overall I think this version is as good or better. It does everything I need it to do. I'm having a small issue with the long text description field but that may be unique to my situation. Still trying to figure that out. One of the changes with Categories is using the ^ symbol instead of ~ to delimit the categories. Overall once I got used to the changes I like this version a little better than Adv EP. You can install EP4 in 1.3.9h and use them both if you haven't upgraded to 1.5.1 yet while you transition.
Thanks for these helpful info, mc12345678 and scubasteve.

A few more questions:
"You must upload the files prior to import and split them if necessary instead of streaming the import."
- Do you mean I have to upload the file and then click import? Where do I upload the file? Is there a limit on the number of products?

"I'm having a small issue with the long text description field but that may be unique to my situation."
- I use long description regularly. What issues are you experiencing?

Can someone show me a sample files with all the necessary field titles? These are the fields I use in advanced easy populate. Are they totally different now?
v_products_id (How do I use products_id as the unique primary index in EP4?)
v_products_model (If products_id can be the primary index, can products_model field still be used?)
v_products_type (Do I still put "Product - General" in this?)
v_products_image
v_products_name_en
v_products_description_en
v_products_url_en
v_specials_price
v_specials_date_available
v_specials_expires_date
v_products_price
v_products_weight
v_products_date_available
v_products_date_added (Is there a specific date format to follow in EP4?)
v_products_quantity
v_products_quantity_order_units
v_products_quantity_order_min
v_products_quantity_mixed
v_products_qty_box_status
v_manufacturers_name
ptc_categories_index_path (You said ^ is used instaed of ~)
ptc_categories_destination_path
ptc_categories_linked_path
v_tax_class_title
v_products_status
EOREOR (If this is no longer required, what do we use instead?)
