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.

One, its just nice to have multiple printers for time and speeds sake. Two, you'll always use every printer you have because of this.
For example: Printing the Infinity Stone glove from Avengers. You can use a larger printer for the main glove and that could take you awhile... in the meantime your smaller printers can be used to print translucent resin for the Infinity Stones themselves. Expediting the entire print. Not to mention, Three, you can dedicate printers to specific resins so that you don't have to keep cleaning up vats to swap material.

I think this will be a much more productive purchase than the Xbox Series S that I really don't need with my PC and PS4 backlog...well, I don't NEED a 3d printer either.

No tax and free shipping makes this a no brainer for anyone that wants to dabble.

Does anyone had experience with either? I'm wondering if the 480p resolution might be too low.

I can see how this seems like I'm trying to minimize the size difference - I'm not. Just think about what you want to print. If the details in those models aren't even 12% of a single millimeter then you miss nothing with the Zero other than build volume.
Plus if goes both ways; You dont like resin printing? You can sell it for what you bought it for. You do like it and want to upgrade? You'll always print small parts with it while a larger machine handles the larger jobs.
FDM printing, what you have is the better all-around, but if you think you want to print small stuff that isn't quite getting the smoothness and detail you want... resin is the way to go.
Pros:
Print quality compared to FDM.
Print speed doesn't change when adding detail. Looks to do entire layer at once.
Easy to use - Menu on printer, bed leveling, empty resin from bin.
Build quality - This one surprised me because of the price.
Appearance of the resin itself after print (Green) just looks fantastic, and is surprisingly strong and weighty.
Cons (some not of the printer, but due to printing resin):
Finding a well ventilated area.
Cleanup - Just messier than when dealing with a print spool.
Curing process - I thought I would use the sun, but it has rained every day since I got it. I bought a curing station already .
The software is okay, but already found an issue. Any print I set to 16AA will not slice properly no matter file. 8 and below works fine.
Many sites geared toward resin printing seem to be less giving with free download of stl files. I have never charged for anything I have created.
Sorry for so much info, but I am loving this thing so far.
