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.

Wish I had gotten the Sidewinder X2 instead.
I would stay away as its not as upgradable and user friendly as the rest of the cr10 models.
idk if some of those issues have had fixes but i do know quite a few from the print shops i work with to write firmware for and also help diagnose issues with, they did not like these and after a few months ended up getting refunds.
like most printers ymmv of course, but i am weary of this printer because of the changes it has, seems alot of things were locked down similar to the cr10 pro v2.

I'm gonna recommend that you stay away from the Creality printers and go for a Prusa instead. These printers are great for learning how to tinker with the machines - tweaking gcode, printing upgrades, installing new ends, etc. but if you need a workhorse that can just crank out part after part, you want something else.
Most FDM printers are capable of similar quality, the real challenge is getting to that quality and maintaining it. The Ender 3 is so popular because it can be tweaked to match machines that cost more than an order of magnitude more. But parts will break. Prints will fail. Upgrades will seem like downgrades. Great for learning, not great for production.
I know this is not the Ender 3, but I would argue that most Creality printers need more tinkering and certainly more maintenance to keep up with a Prusa.

This is a great deal. Solid printer, easy to work on and upgrade, larger build volume.

Good out of the box quality with a very minimum tune-up.
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.
