I'm doing a soil grow with CES 3part and just had to change over to foxfarm because CES didn't have any micronutes and my plants were suffering from a zinc deficiency. This may have been just because of the size of the plants vs the size of the containers they are in (i'm limited in floor space but not vertical space haha) but I had to switch to foxfarm to get the micronutes. IMO stick with the foxfarm most people here seem to stand by them (dogmatically so sometimes it seems) and they are cheaper, but CES was also designed for hydro not soil and most tap or mineral water should have all the micronutes you need, my guess is that they just aren't concentrated enough for the soil and needs some further supplement since I haven't seen anyone else make this complaint.
CES analysis:

Fertilizer Product Database - Grow
Fertilizer Product Database - Bloom

As you can see there are slight differences in what they have for micronutes and heavy metals, a lot of it is likely just personal preference and exchanging one potential problem for another, the only true way to even begin to determine the difference is to try the CES and Foxfarm nutes on individual plants of the same strain and use an objective measure (eg weight or hight) as subjective measure will be influenced by your biases, alternatively you can have your friends try it either by giving them just the FF nutes and a form to rate it (in this case no1 but u will know there is a difference) or both kinds but don't tell them which one and have them rate them.
Good Luck on your grow.
