Better to order just the A1 mini for $180 and then go to 3dprintingdeals.com and select the filament. You can get easily right now 4KG of PETG or PLA FOR $40 or less bringing you total to $220 which is below what you would be paying for this deal. Plus, the filament would ship from Amazon, which means that if there are any issues, the return process is way simpler.
It is actually cheaper and less shipping to order the A1 mini and manually add the four filaments. Total was $238.96 + $15 shipping, + tax
A1 is a better printer with standard bed size. You'll find more things to print for A1 than the mini. A1 is better size for printing some useful stuff around house like organizing boxes and trays, along with all the things you can print with A1mini.

Your comment has nothing to do with the person you are replying to.....this entire deal is for the A1 Mini, and the person you're replying to didn't mention anything different than the deal itself.
I just ordered the mini; it has a smaller footprint than the A1, is considerably less $, and is also faster (albeit limited to 180mmx180mm).

You're right about the first part. Somehow I thought they're comparing with the a1. But there's no reason for mini to be faster than the a1 for a same size print, they both can print at 500mm/s. A1 mini is a good deal indeed for it's price, it's a great printer.

Per the little boat benchmark, it's several minutes faster than the full sized A1. Perhaps has to do with something other than just raw movement speed (e.g. less dally time?).
