This is a step in the right direction for Prusa I think. I've owned an MK2 (kit) since 2017 which has paid for itself several times over in both home projects and commercial prints. I don't think I'm unique in my ownership, but the only thing I've had to replace over 7 years are the nozzles - which are a consumable like tires on a car. There is plenty of life left on this machine.
I have a monoprice makerselect v2 that I have had to heavily modify so it wont burn my house down and to put a new firmware on it. It is a rebrand of a prusa 3 I think? After all of the mods and my tuning it works pretty damn well for being probably over 10 years old at this point.
Though, I don't print stuff all of the time. Just when I am working on a new project or have found something interesting I want to print.
