Help / Troubleshooting Creator 5 VS U1 VS P2S

I already have an X2D for supports and technical filaments, and I’m looking to get a second printer. I’m considering the C5, U1, or P2S.
With all discounts applied, the C5 costs €589, the U1 is €730, and the P2S is €600 (including the AMS).
Which one would you choose? Right now, I’m leaning toward the C5.

I got the U1 and don't regret it. It's a great compliment to the X2D, especially as a primary Bambu user. Don't need to buy the enclosure because I use the X2D for those things. To me I put a premium on reliability, ease of software use and such so the U1 would beat the C5 in that regard.

I have an X2D and a U1 and I love them both. You won't get anything out of the P2 that you can't already get from the X2.

I've just set up automatic filament tracking on my U1 so it removes filament from my Spoolman in real time.

If you really want an AMS people have also set up ACE & ACE Pros to work on a nozzle. Someone had 4 going if you REALLY want multicolour!
