What are the maintenance that is a barrier to you? At $200 I might want to dip my toes into 3D printing to print things first my kids really but not if it's a lot of work.
Corexy printers like this, creality k1, bambu and their ilk, and elegoo centauri are all fairly low maintenance and are mostly plug in and print setups.

Go with centauri carbon
Well the bigger build volume and full enclosure are something to consider, other you can just get the bare centauri for 200. May have to wait a while because it's on back/pre order.
I'm not sure I would buy the 5M Pro for $356 vs the Elegoo for $330. Again, I like the FF and based on my experience it's a known good printer. However, the build area and size again.
The 220mm cube vs 255 is only going to occasionally matter. A nice thing about the 220mm size is the printer works with Ender 3 sized build plates. Lots of cheap options for textured plates.
If, however, you are on a tight budget, well it would be easy to suggest the 5M vs say a Bambu A1mini or just about any other sub $300 bed slinger. It's also generally a really good starter printer.
I will note that I had to update my factory firmware to print the test cube model that came with the printer. Not impressed with that. However, since the printer accepts both wired and wireless networking I just plugged the thing in for 10 minutes or so and it did the firmware update. Now I have no issues. If you aren't interested in materials that need an enclosure and money is tight, this is a really good printer value.
