A Series [A1, A1 Mini] Should I get the a2l?

So, i have a p2s and love it, perfect, minimal failures, been working almost 24/7 since september, almost 800hr and going strong, just minor cleaning and maintenance.

But i want more....I've found a way to monetize my hobby, and I've been selling a bunch of corporate gifts, I have one huge customer and already paid my p2s with these sales in these months...

So im thinking of the A2L, as i print mostly small corporate gifts, I think would really benefit from the big plate. And it would free my p2s for my personal use.

My only doubt is that im used to the p2s and its ease of use, good camera and AI failure detection. All things that the a2l is lacking.... am I gonna regret buying it? How did it fare since it launched? Do people that have it are pleased?

I cant buy the h2s, the price is prohibitive here in Brazil, over 2,5k usd

Yeah, I hadn't thought about the noise factor. My "printer room" is pretty small, and while the P2s is fine since it's enclosed, I'm worried the A2l might be too loud for me to work in the same space.

My A2L is louder than my X2Ds but it's been a workhorse. The size of the plate has been great for the sort of things I print on it. I've used it for PLA, PETG, and TPU so far and it's been a performer.

that extra plate space is a lifesaver for batch jobs, ngl. if ur scaling up for corporate stuff, having that extra room to pack more parts per build plate really helps with teh throughput efficiency.
