That’s a pretty reductive take, the Rook 2020 is very similar in print capabilities to a v0.2 with the same build volume, similar print speeds and quality, but is intended to be an open-frame PLA printer while the v0.2 is intended to be an enclosed ABS printer. Which is better really comes down to what you want to print with it. My self-sourced Rook 2020 Mk1 has been a reliable workhorse for PLA, PETG and TPU for over 2 years now with minimal maintenance.
Comment on Which Core XY printer?

A voron 0.2 kit costs $650 🙃

No it doesn’t…it’s $329 on permanent “sale” at formbot

Ok fair, i was comparing between LDO kits. If you go outside them sure, but then a non-LDO Rook will also be half as much and even more affordable

But also worse…the formbot kits are good quality and you get them with enclosure which the rook kit you linked at least doesn’t. I’d rather buy the formbot 0.2 than the LDO rook.
