I don't have any experience with resin printers yet but have been poking around at FDM for the better part of a decade. In that price range (for FDM), I'd likely suggest a Creality K1C. It is not going to likely match the BambuLab printers but it's a great departure from previous by Creality, requiring little to no tinkering to make it work. If you can spare around $1k, and don't care about proprietary stuff, BambuLab X1 series is about the most turnkey that I know of. But, again, the Creality is (surprisingly) right there too with the K1C.
Note: It is probably possible to get similar results with mods to a K1 or K1Max - the nozzle brush seems to be critical to the K1C's reliability.
