Default Foam core wings

I build alot , but have always avoided foam core kits, more out if ignorance , than anything else. As my building skills have progressed, a lot of the kits I,m looking at have foam core wings.
My understanding , is you use a foam cutter to cut a blank , add spars, LE,TE and sheet the wing ? I was wondering if there are any downside to foam wings, are they hard to build, durable and are repairs hard to do ?
Do they make precut foam cores or do most kits come just blocks of foam ?
