I'm dming an upcoming 5e campaign that I'll be starting early next year. A player asked me about using the new UA monk. The UA monk is considerably stronger than the 5e monk, which I'm fine with because the 5e monk is underpowered. However, I'm having trouble figuring out how well the UA monk is balanced compared to the other 5e classes. Does anybody have any advice for this?

From what I've seen, really can't imagine this being a serious balance issue

The big takeaway for a GM is that the UA monk cannot spam stunning fist anymore, it's limited to once per round. That's great imho
