Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Solid choice

“Four colours on a budget, with an AI camera thrown in.”

A roomy 26 cm bed and four colours for under $400 with the combo is a good deal. It's an open bed slinger capped at four colours, so it's for fun colourful PLA prints, not engineering parts.
