Comment on best print farm 3d-printer for PETG?

I have an Anycubic S1 combo. Enclosed, AMS, networked, hackable (Rinkhals kliipper) . 700 hours on it and it’s been fine. Layer 1 isn’t absolutely perfect across the entire bed but as long as you aren’t mass printing coasters with layer 1 designs, you won’t notice. It’s never been enough of an issue for me to bother tweaking the defaults.
But if this for a business, you should probably cave and get a P1S.

To be fair, the internet is full of complaints that the P1S has problems with layer 1 too.
Before the current P1S sale it was $600 for a Anycubic with ams vs $1000 for a P1S with AMS. But what got me to get the Anycubic was they haven’t locked users out of Orca slicer and forced cloud like Bambu. Anycubic has cloud features if you want it but you aren’t forced.

That’s like saying a Toyota isn’t a finished product compared to a BMW. The Anycubic works and isn’t locked down to their cloud service. You can even install open source firmware. The S1 AMS does filament drying that the p1S doesn’t do without the pro AMS.
I agree that Anycubic should sell nozzles but 3rd party nozzles are available.
Like I said there’s a temporary sale that makes the P1S a great value. The S1 is not $50-$100 cheaper. It was $1000 vs $650. Now it’s $700 vs $450.
