What is a CDI?

XO and AJ Bell seem to offer CDIs instead of US shares
Is there any upside or downside that should be aware of?
I have been told by the platforms there is a Market Side Charge, a charge by the provider for offering the CDI. Does this make them more expensive?
What platforms allow you to hold the actual shares?
Thanks

Does this answer your first two questions?

After that, do you still want to find a platform that trades the foreign shares in foreign currencies? I know Charles Stanley Direct allows you to trade foreign shares, but the cost is likely higher than trading CDIs.0
