Not to mention the footprint. Bed slingers need a much larger workspace area in order for the extruder to reach the entire bed area. I'm a bot skeptical of the printer listed above though. It has a really tiny bed and not that great of print speed. Plus looking at the page they list things like "5:1 gear reduction" three separate times (who cares what the drive ratio is?) which leads me to believe it's built with cheap parts and lacks a lot of features standard on even cheap Ender machines.
This is true. My 350mm^3 corexy is basically the same depth as my old 200mm^2 bedslinger.
