Prusas are very expensive for hobbyists and aren't free from problems. Look up 3d printing forums. You'll see that, yes most prusas are good, but you'll also read about CR-10s reputation for good quality. Plus if you get the lower tier Prusa $800 model, you'll spend 8-12 hrs assembling it. CR-10 takes maybe 20 minutes. Not to mention the comparably tiny build volume of the Prusa compared to this.
Then you THINK you have all the knowledge you need to print everything from here on out pefectly, you WILL BE WRONG about that. i've been FDM printing for 7 years. I've had 3 printers in that time and i just got into MSLA (resin) printing and i'm STILL tinkerin and failing with prints.
it's a constant learning process. The curve keeps on going.

Plus, there are more fun ways to learn about 3D printing than fixing low cost gear built to the cheapest tolerances possible. I invested probably 20 hours of maintenance with the Ender and the quality STILL wasn't even in the same league as the Prusa. The Ender is still having adhesion issues. I could have spent 10 hours learning CAD and about using slicers instead, so I can design my own prints. To this day, the Creality slicer is utter garbage, and if you switch to PrusaSlicer or Cura, be prepared to try and figure out the right settings for a printer profile.
I had more great looking prints out of the Mini+ in the first weekend with it, more than I successfully printed after months with the Creality.
I think the Prusa Mini+ is by far the best beginner printer out there. If you value you time, trust me, you are getting what you pay for.
