The thing people don't get looking outward in when comparing to an FDM is supports. Supports in resin printers can do what only FDM could ever dream of - stacking.
I can set a Photon Zero to print 15 minitures at once and go to sleep. Drop the entire build plate into a bucket of water and in 3 minutes that pile of lines and solids falls apart almost like butter. My Ender 3 V2 can't touch it for this use case.
And while it easily doesn't apply to all its disingenuous to compare a tool meant for other prints against one meant for this.

Between Saturn and Mono X...Mono X has a superior build size with a longer Z axis.
MASSIVE EDIT: Oops, entirely forgot the Mono uses pretensioned FEP sheet inserts so the Elegoo models can use cheaper do it yourself FEP sheets. Anycubic just recently got them back in stock so folks needing them have been SOL. I'm super lazy so I'm willing to pay for this feature, but if you are used to tensioning your own FEP that a large strike against Anycubic Mono.

Far too limiting for the hassle. I can print small things pretty well with my Adventurer 3 quickly. Yeah it's not smooth but the simplicity of printing the old way vs dealing with resin, curing and cleanup just does not make it worth it for me.
The way I look at it per dollar...
Resin/Traditional
1. Quality: Resin
2. Speed: Traditional (if you add in curing for Resin)
3. Cost: Traditional
4. Hassle: Traditional
So yes we all want the great looks of resin but right now the ability to pop in a spool of filament for $20 and zero cleanup or preparation for a print just makes resin not ready for prime time.
I think resin is about 2-3 years behind but once it catches up with maybe some form of built in curing (don't ask me how LOL) and then resin will take over.

Again, this is just apples to oranges. It is great to point out the differences and the applications for using one type of printer over the other, but not to downplay another to suite your own needs.

First I had the Mars, and curing was SUCH a pain. Pickle tub, sonic cleaner, using more paper towels than I ever thought possible. Got rid of it.
A year later, tried a regular Mono and the cure & wash, what a difference in post-print chores! Still though, ended up getting rid of it.
Thanks to those 2 previous encounters in slicing, cleaning, curing, I'm excited about the Mono X.
Now, if only there was a decent 500mmx500mmx500mm ish FDM at a decent price to 'complete' my collection of printers! (been considering the Tronxy, but it would take SO much work to do all the upgrades)
I want to get into resin printing as I like the more finished look but me thinks we need another year or two before these catch up to the point in which I will jump in.
I was about to jump on this but when I saw how small the prints were I think I'll wait some more. I want larger not smaller https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif
The other thing is post processing time to get a smooth finish. It takes way way longer to post process FDM prints.
That said, People need to understand Resin printing can be dangerous to yourself and the environment if they aren't very diligent with cleanup/handling/disposal.
edit. code is QHE4DJSA5YX2 for anybody else who had trouble loading the deal. had to go to my PC for it to show the entire posting for some reason
