M1D advanced vs Core One+INDX

I’m almost certainly going to buy either a Sovol M1D or a Prusa Core One + w/INDX within the next few hours, but I’m am having trouble deciding on which would be better. I’ll share my thoughs, please share whatever feedback you have.

I feel like I gave completely outgrown my old bedslinger, I miss being out of my depth and forced to learn, and I’ve saved up quite a bit of money in order to get a printer that will give me lots of new techniques and technologies to learn. I primarily want to add multi-color, multi-material, and a heated chamber for materials like ABS. I’ve decided that I’d like to get all these capabilities in a single printer, as I don’t have a huge amount of space in my apartment for my hobbies.

I’m leaning towards the M1D, as i find the IDEX system and larger print volume, at a slightly lower price, to be very alluring. Although the fact that the M1D is still in its pre-release phase does give me some pause.

The Core One+ wins a number of points though. I have friends with Prusas and in my experience the prusa polish is incredible, and I know that Sovol may have slightly lower build quality. The slightly smaller size of the printer, while a sacrifice in print volume, would make finding space for it far easier. Finally since the Core One is already released I wouldn’t have to wait for December for the printer to arrive.

Appologies if I have formatted this poorly, this whole post is just slightly edited stream of thought.
