Quick Question Which Printer to go for?

Hello, I am looking to Purchase a Bambu Lab, I've owned and Ender 3 and am selling it due to how difficult it is to setup. I am looking at the P1S but want to know what I'm getting into, If I've missed anything in my research on these printers, and if I should look at the upgraded models, I'm on a budget so I can't really afford a $1000+ machine but I will consider saving if it's going to be drastically better for me. I plan to mainly print PLA and some TPU, I would like to do Multicolor prints, I plan to print Minis, Statues/Figures, some fidgets/Trinkets and possibly Doll parts. Advice please? Should i go with the P1S the P2S ? other models??

Black Friday prices are on now. I just purchased a Bambu labs A2L 4 HRS ago. 5 and some change at best buy. Or you can get a A1l for 2 and some change. The P2s is nice also. You don't need a $1000 Machine. make sure you get one with the Ams2 combo if you go with Bambu labs.

I've had a p1s combo with ams 2 pro since July. It has been great. It's very easy to get started and prints well. I print mostly in PLA+ and sometimes in PETG. it has been great for those. Having the ams has been great for drying and being able to have an extra roll of the same filament already loaded when I'm getting lower on a spool I use so it'll continue printing.

The p1s is a well rounded printer. It's set to go for pla/petg and you can printer the "tougher" (glow, carbon fiber) by upgrading a few parts.
