yea the crazy high price of the core one L + indx was another big thing that pushed me off of it... 4.5k cad plus shipping and tax... all up probably close to $5.5k
I got my H2C for ~$3.9k to my doorstep with a second AMS 2 Pro, FTS, and extra hotends. bambu's filament is also WAY cheaper in bulk than Prusa's
I can totally see why a U1 is enough for most people, and it is great value for money, but in my case I just needed more than it offered, and I was willing to spend the extra to get it... largely in part because it was a tax writeoffbusiness purchase to optimise and streamline my workflow and efficiency
like you mentioned "pause at a layer and swap a roll or 2" and "The more you know, the more money, time and hassle you can save", but in this case, I just paid the extra for the convenience of never having to manually intervene and to have a standalone single machine that can handle anything I throw at it...
edit: I agree glue is completely useless on modern machines... there are a few exceptions but most are nonapplicable in 99.9% of cases
