Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with any 3D printing company. I'm just a guy who did months of research before buying the P1S during last year's Black Friday Sale. A few months later, I added an AMS. I've done exotic materials (Carbon Fiber reinforced nylon, TPU) as well as PLA and PLA+.
If you compare Bambu to previous manufacturers, Bambu printers are considered the "Apple of 3D printers." They aren't the first to implement all of its features, but they combined them in a good package that is easy to use.
The printer comes mostly pre-built. You just have to do a little building of accessories that don't pack/ship well. For the P1S, you can get your first print going in ~20 minutes of opening the box. Old school hobbyist know the pain of having to build a printer from scratch/pile of pieces. Bambu printers have auto-leveling. Not having to manually level the print bed between prints is huge. My buddy with an Ender 3 gave up the hobby because of just leveling the bed and the frustrations with that.
Bambu's slicer software has an awesome base configuration with defaults. You can literally just download an STL, load it, and hit run for something like the benchy boat. If you need supports, you just hit a checkbox and auto-supports does a fantastic job of supporting locations that need it. Printing a vase? Check the box for vase mode! It does awesome with the default settings. The slicer stuff carries over to the AMS. If you have a .3mf or some other multi-color file, just import it! You select the colors/rolls you have and it gives you a great preview of what it will do.You can even take a single color .stl and "paint" a multi-color print with it right in the software. Then of course you have the flexibility to customize every aspect and print setting you want. It accepts .gcode as well you can just import for custom settings.
I got the P1S over the A1 specifically because I wanted to print "exotic" materials. Not to mention the higher bed and nozzle temps needed. Some of these materials need an enclosure to maintain a higher air temperature for the duration of the print. This is opposite than say PLA which it's even recommended to open up the lid to have open air for the print. I've done TPU and PA6-CF. I've gotten really great results with the default settings in the Bambu slicer software. One thing I'd advise is to use and directly print from a filament dryer. I personally have the Sunlu S2 that has exit holes to print directly from the dryer. This is especially needed for carbon fiber filaments, so you are drying as you are printing for long prints. Drying these types of filaments is critical for good prints. I ordered both TPU and PA6-CF and both were "moist" (TPU was at like 45% relative humidity and the PA6-CF was at like 25%) right out of the package. Since the S2 only gets up to 70C, the drying time needs to be extended. For TPU, I think I dried it for 3 days, and the CF I did for 1-2 days. The goal was to get it under 20% for my locale and average humidity in my house.
I also changed to hardened steel 0.6mm nozzle for PA6-CF. Carbon fiber filaments are super abrasive and hardened steel nozzles are recommended. I have a hardened still extruder gear as well, but I haven't swapped that out. The larger nozzle size is also recommended to avoid clogging. You sacrifice fine detail with larger nozzle sizes. I just swap back to my 0.4mm steel for PLA prints as necessary. Swapping nozzles is easy, especially if you buy the entire hot-end assembly. I did just the nozzle and it took me about 20 minutes since I have to strip all of the parts off of the existing 0.4mm nozzle (ceramic heater, silicon sock, temperature gauge, fan). The whole hot-end swap would probably take 5 minutes. Don't forget to change the settings in the slicer for the new nozzle!
Also as a caution, other materials have a higher risk of harmful air particulates. The "S" in ASA and ABS is styrene, which basically releases burnt Styrofoam fumes when printing. If you've ever thrown a Styrofoam cup into a camp fire, you know how terrible that is. I got the Bento Box mod, which uses HEPA filters + activated charcoal for filtering air. I also printed a HEPA filter container for the vent at the back of the printer. I didn't smell any harmful fumes with any of the prints I did. You may consider using a separate unoccupied room for prints or getting a good filtering system setup.
As far as filament, I've tested Bambu, Sunlu, and Polymaker. I've had good results with each of them. Polymaker can be difficult in the AMS unit due to the cardboard spool. If it isn't round enough or if there are frayed edges it can have some difficulty spinning around in the AMS. There are some "adapters" you can print that go around the ring to make this better. I've printed some adapters in PLA and they work great. When you get rolls, pay attention to how they look and feel when you first get them. You want to be able to tell the difference because rolls left out in the open will absorb moisture from the air. Nothing will ruin your prints like printing with saturated filament. I started using vacuum-sealed bags + desiccant on most of my filament, but I think I'll transition to the cereal box containers + desiccant. Depending on the relative humidity of your storage location, it can take a few months before the filaments are greatly affected. And I also have the filament dryer that I can use to get them good again. Also the AMS unit has spots for desiccant packs, so you can use it as a sort of drying box as well.
Bambu will recommend their glue sticks for plates, but the only time I actually needed glue was for the PA6-CF filament. And I just used an Elmer's Glue stick and that worked just fine. You don't need specialty glue. PLA and PLA+ adheres just fine on the textured PEI plate the P1S comes with. No glue needed.
The AMS unit creates a lot of waste, aka filament poop. When doing multi-color prints, frequent filament changes cause a lot of waste due to the process. You can reduce it in the settings depending on your colors, but expect this. I've adjusted my settings a little for less waste, but it's still there. Consider if you are going from something like while to red. If you want the transition in the print to be crisp, you need to feed more of the color through so they don't mix before printing. I've printed a poop chute, but you want to make sure it doesn't get filled up and clogged. You can get errors in your print if that happens. Some people just have trash bins behind the printer it falls into.
I love the P1S and readily recommend it. The ease of use is just such a huge thing if you follow the 3D printing world. So much time is spend fiddling with hardware and settings to get good prints that you just don't have with Bambu. Yes it's more expensive than other printers, but in my research I decided I wanted to spend more money up-front to avoid headache and frustration on the back-end. I've been printing for 6 months now and I haven't had any problems on it.
I'd be happy to answer any questions.

If I can't snag the k2 for 50% off, I might jist grab the p1s
I keep thinking about the AMS or full size… I just don't use it enough I think to justify the higher money spend.

I would also suggest you get your child started on some type of 3D design program. There are a number of free options (the maker version of Fusion 360, Blender etc). There are a number of videos, web postings on this topic. I personally like Solidworks and the student version is $50/year but if I were starting out I would consider various free/low cost options. I would suggest something that lets you save files locally and to universal formats like STL, STEP, etc just in case in a few years Fusion360 (or other) decides to drop their low cost options. Downloading files from Thingiverse or other sites is a nice start to the hobby but it's better when you can create your own files (or modify the ones you downloaded).
One final note, at work we looked at Bambu lab printers but they were rejected by IT for security reasons. This is the one thing that makes me hesitate to get a Bambu printer.

Odds are Bambu Labs isn't doing anything bad with the data they collect and my personal printing isn't going to provide any value to Chinese spies. However, I don't like the idea of just trusting that this printer's networking is robust. My Creality and Monoprice printers aren't networked so I don't have to wonder if they are a vonurability to my home network. I wish Bambu Labs offered an off line version of both the printer (you kind of can) and the slicer (I think that one is always talking to home).
Edit: If you son is really into tinkering and if funds are tight, some of the older Ender or Ender like printers (Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 V2, Anycubic Kobra Go, etc) can produce really good prints. The issue is they require more tuning and slower print speeds to get a good print. The quality of a print is affected by many small variables. Part of the success of Bambu Labs is they really tested their products to figure out those details (should the nozzle temp be 200 or 205 C etc). With something like an Ender 3 Pro (a printer from about 2018) you can adjust many of these parameters but it must be done manually and through your own testing/trial and error. Once dialed in the print results can be impressive but you have to do that work. An advantage to learning on something like an Ender 3 Pro or V2 or S1 etc is there is a lot of knowledge base on the internet on those printers. If you are interested in tinkering with the printer, that's great. If, like many people, you just want the printer to spit out a part, Bambu Labs (and others) have worked to make that much easier.
However, if it's something you're not sure on; those Creality Ender S1 are a nice way to get into it at a lower cost (about $200 - $300?). But it does get annoying 'recalibrating' it often...so it can get a bit more tedious. Not only that, stock it prints a lot slower but can be upgraded with a few platforms including Raspberry Pi.
The SE and KE don't have the bed leveling knobs. Instead they use two sensors to detect both the bed level and the nozzle z-offset. This works generally well enough though I'm not sure why the auto system puts my z-offset too high. Once I manually correct the z-offset it's fine but then what's the point of having an auto z-offset?
