There is no reason to get a Prusa as a hobbyist unfortunately, unless you value open source hardware.

The Prusa XL may still be worth it if you need that sort of thing.

That's very unfortunate, as I do value open source hardware. However, I value my time more, and Pruša have become complacent and released incremental updates (most of their printers aren't even CoreXY), so Bambu turned up and are eating Pruša's lunch.

I don't think there's much inherent value in the CoreXY geometry. MK4S seems to outperform everything Bambu has both on speed and on quality (especially on overhangs and dimensional precision) despite being a bed slinger.

On the other hand, continuing the bed slinger line let Prusa provide an upgrade path for existing printers.
