Do you want a 3D printer to actually print things? Get the Prusa.
Do you want a 3D printer to mess around with, upgrade so it punches above its weight, and experience the high-highs and low-lows? Get the Ender.
I have an Ender 3 v2, and sometimes it's amazing and sometimes I want to throw it out a window because that dang first layer just won't stick. But I got a 3D printer because I wanted to mess around with a 3D printer, not to make high quality prints with minimal effort on my part.
