I'm a fan of the Bambu printers because they just simply work.
You want to print something, they print something, done.
If you want to fiddle, then they're the wrong printers, but if you want to model shit and make things then they're really hard to beat right now.
And, yes, I have reservations about the closed sourced nature, but honestly ask yourself: are you going to contribute to the code? Are you going to build your own firmware to run on your printer? If the answer is no, then that's probably not really a concern that should be driving your decisions.
And even the closed source nature is only partially so. The x1c already has x1+ firmware, and they just made their own custom expansion board to go with the custom firmware.
