Not one of the downvoters, but the P1S is very expensive for a 1st printer IMO.
Bambu themselves offer the much lower priced A1 and A1 mini printers, which would probably be a better suggestion here despite them being bedslingers.
I’m not really a Bambu fan myself given the proprietary nature of their hardware, but they have the market pretty much cornered for the lowest priced, multi-material printers
OP stated in another comment that their budget is at least $1000. They also stated they are interested in a higher variety of filament. That points to the P1S being the most fitting of the Bambu lineup.
The ‘closed source’ argument is really up to the individual. Personally I’ve found no real issue with it or any real evidence that it’s a real concern for the future. The only real downside I’ve seen with Bambu is some bad experiences with customer support. However, I believe that’s a risk regardless of manufacturer.
