Lemme propose an alternative. Build a Voron. You’ll get just as good print with all the faetures , and when you are done you will UNDERSTAND 3D printing at a level neither of the the two options will provide.
Don’t get me wrong, prusa and bambu printers are incredible, but Vorons are every bit as good, fully open source and nothing is gonna make you understand the hobby as much as building one
To be fair, I think most opt for Prusa's kits rather than prebuilts, but I don't deny that the Voron is probably harder to build (and you have to buy your own Haribo gummy bears).
Oh totally, but just think by the time you are done building a Voron you have a kick ass printer and you should pretty much understand everything
