Not even close. The one you linked has terrible resolution 480 vs 2k...and the lcd seems to be 2.8in whereas the photon has a 5.5in lcd printing surface
I use my FDM (filament roll and hotend) type 3d printers for all kinds of things. Making money on the side printing things for people. I design parts for work from time to time. I used it to make stuff for my wedding. Fix all kinds of things around the house, like door hinge shims.They are amazing and so useful in the right hands.
Outside of printing brackets, adapters, and replacement parts I have printed a lot of various things for table top board gaming such as minifigs, pieces, and storage containers. My latest project is building the Lowrider CNC which heavily uses 3d-printed parts in its design. I also am printing parts to upgrade to a Voron 3d-printer build in the future which also uses 3d-printed parts.
What you get out of 3d-printing depends on how much you want to tinker. If you buy one of the entry-level systems like the Maker Select or Ender you will find yourself debugging and learning more about the printer trying to hone things in. Though it looks like the Ender systems are way more robust than the i3 Wanhao platform the Maker Select was based on. Alternatively you can jump right up to a Prusa Mk3 and for more money have beautiful prints after unboxing.
I haven't played with SLA yet, but my brother has the Prusa version of one of these and they are pretty damn cool.. albeit with toxic resin chemicals so you have to handle them carefully.

Resin printers are very different than filament printers. They're messier, more toxic, require a lot of post processing equipment for rinsing and curing and are all around more expensive in every way. The slicing software and model files are also not nearly as plug and play. Do your research on resin printing before buying.
If you've never done 3d printing before I don't recommend starting with a resin type.

I have this Photon and an Elegoo Mars and have been thrilled with the quality in the prints of both products. I also had an MP (Monoprice) Mini SLA that was absolute garbage

Also, according to the ad on their site this will be $230 starting 11-11 on AliExpress direct from the manufacturer and that's not including the tons of coupons and cash back stuff you can get. Nothing against this printer, and I would buy it again, but it's easy to find a much better price. The only reason to buy THIS deal is you want it right now and from Amazon, which is not a bad reason as Amazon is pretty easy to deal with.
It sounds like I'm down on this printer, but I'm not, I just want people to understand what they're getting into before buying and to let everyone know this is an OK deal from Amazon but you can get it for about 20% less regularly.
I use it for prototyping different patent ideas I have. A lot of camera rig stuff and custom-made video game stuff. I also make models and both this and a standard 3 printer can advance that hobby fairly usually in quickly. The resin printers especially good at doing high detail tiny things like a set of chairs or street lights or a steel gate for your model. So between prototyping and hobbying, I think there's plenty of uses. I'm not trying to make plates heat off or anything like that however, people need also beware that resin 3D printer comes with a significant amount of extra pain in the ass that you need to be ready for it. The resin casts a very strong and pungent smell and you can't not use it enclosed indoor without some serious ventilation. It's also got a much longer process to get it from creation to use. I would say if this thing drops below $180, that's a good deal. Otherwise unless you need it I would just wait.

How much better is the elegoo Mars than the photon? Was thinking of pulling the trigger on the elegoo but they just announced the upgraded version is coming out at the end of this month so holding off for now
Significantly...the auto bed leveling feature is one of the best parts of the Mars as with new users one of the main reasons for failed prints are improper build plate leveling. There is a lot of scuttlebutt going on right now about regular Photons (Post-September production date) now coming with the more proprietary Photon S board inside it. The great thing about the original photon was that most of these SLA printers are/were VERY open source as far as replacement parts and customization.
Having the Photon S board in the new ones being sold means that sliced files that currently work with another photon would not work with these newer ones. It's really a step back for what these were intended for and what the SLA printing community is all about.
The real kick to the crotch here is that this was done by Anycubic without any transparency with their core consumer base. I actually pulled the trigger on another one of these at this price and learned of this after my purchase. It will be going right back if I got this now motherboard inside of mine. I guess I'll be waiting for a deal on a Mars now.
Buyer beware on these.
