A Voron V2.4 for cost of this kit ($950 / 1050 EUR)? Sure buddy.

1,000 bucks isn't far off what the middle of the road cost of a 2.4 is. I've seen kits for as low as like 550-600 bucks shipped, this is without printed parts. The high end stuff like LDO or Siboor are 1,200-1,500.

From what I've seen, middle of the road 300 mm Voron V2.4 kits are around $1300. I believe the lowest I've seen was around $950, excluding printed parts (which the same company was selling separately for over $200). When I tried compiling a BOM with self-sourced high quality parts, the total reached over $1700 before I gave up on that idea. Where have you seen $600 kits? If these are still available, I may consider one. However, I'm hesitant to go with a kit that may have lower quality components. Personally, I'm really excited for this new Prusa and will probably pick up a kit once they are available. Unless, of course, Vorons are really that affordable.

In fairness, they never said a 2.4.

Is there a different current version that would be better to compare against the Prusa?

The trident is probably a more fair comparison given that both it and the CORE One use 3x lead screws to move (and presumably level) the bed.

You can get a 300mm^3 LDO trident kit for $1,200, which appears to be the price of the Prusa. You can of course go cheaper (formbot for $690 with a V6 hot end) and more expensive (a custom BOM in a box from say West3d that starts at $1,300).
