I'm looking to expand my printer lineup, and have been looking at kits from magic phoenix for both the Voron Trident and the v2.4R2.

Is there any real benefit to one over the other, or is it more a preference thing?

Edit: if anyone know of other kits, preferably available in the EU, I would also like to take a look at those.

One thing this overlooks is that the rigid mounted bed of the V2 causes thermal expansion issues. There's a lot of really bad lore that gets repeated in the community re: bed heater power because the V2 tends to want to taco the bed if it's heated too quickly.

The WhoppingOrchard kinematic mounts are a solid option for addressing the issue.
