I will say that the mk3s I'm using honestly just works, I've done some tweaks to improve cooling, swapped to a dragon hotend and all abs parts (and some enclosure upgrades I've put together), it's stupid reliable and when things go wrong it's often my fault. I swapped to a dragon literally because my hamfisted nozzle changes have ended up with a few wrecked thermistors and I'm done with 2 handed nozzle changes. They're pricey but it comes with amazing support, great knowledge base (which is open to all) and a well vetted machine. I also like my voron but I bought the prusa originally to have something I can fall back to if need be.
