If you can afford it the VL53L8CX has almost 3x the optical power of the L4CX. It's better in outdoor lighting.
There is a spec in the L8 datasheet stating it can range to 1.6m in pretty bright light. (I forget the LUX number they used.)
the L8 is also interesting because it is a multi-zone sensor. With it, you can see left/right or up/down motion as someene goes past. It's an easier sensor to turn into people passing sensor. You can tell in which direction they are passing.
