if so; for a first 3d printer i'd really really recommend a multicolor - when i bought my first (bambu a1 mini without ams) it was really annoying that the add-on to print multicolors was almost as much as the machine itself. after a few months i bought a whole new printer because single color objects didn't cut it anymore. i don't want to paint everyday items - and multicolor prints waste filament during color swaps - but i will never buy another single color machine as my primary
if you want only single color ever - this looks AWESOME
edit: i KNOW 220 vs 400 isn't apples to apples - i just don't want anyone else to do what i did - find out too late that it's waaay cheaper to buy a multicolor combo than to add multicolor capability later.

That's the better move.
Trust me you'll spend more in upgrades either go with this or the Elegoo centauri at $200 and get done with it. I just got a centauri carbon ($300, I print ASA) and it is miles better than my Voxelab Aquila (ender 3 clone)
This is an open machine so it compares to the centauri not the centauri carbon. Flashforge has an enclosed version of this but I don't remember what it is called. I have the centauri carbon and very happy with it.

The P1P is a very good printer (based on reputation, no first hand experience). However, it's advantages vs this printer are somewhat limited.
It can do higher temp filaments (300C vs 280C) but with an open frame printer you generally can't print those filaments that well. Overall print quality is similar if both are dialed in. The Bambu software is more likely to help you dial in a print correctly in part because it has a lot of filament profiles you can download. FF is more like working with generic Orca. You can run test prints to dial in a filament or you can run generic profiles. I've generally been happy with the generic profiles.
Again, unless you want to be in the Bambu ecosystem including their web apps, the difference is small but the price gap isn't. Since I save files to a USB and sit near my printer, I don't really miss the network aspects. Basically it's nearly double the price for gains that may or may not be of much value depending on how you want to use the printer. Mostly I would say, unless you need the marginal increase in size or you know you want to do remote printing, the differences are not worth the cost. I would likely get the Elegoo Centauri Carbon before the P1P. Once again the better network printing isn't a value to me. The Elegoo has the same build volume and speed and cost $330 with an enclosure.
Just run the ender till it's dead. No reason to upgrade these days. Particularly the board etc. throw that money toward a different printer.

It's a great printer. It took a little bit of dialing in, but it's faster and I feel the quality is better than my Creality K1. It's missing the enclosure part of the K1, but they sell a really cheap enclosure kit and you could just tape cardboard to the sides of the printer in a pinch if you're printing something that needs more consistent temps (ask me how I know this...).
I also have a Creality K1 and this printer is somehow faster and higher quality (though they both are great). I don't know why the 5M is so much faster than the K1 since on paper they are the same, but in my experience it can be around 10% faster, which when you're talking a couple of hours, is a good chunk of time.
The nozzles are great on this printer. I think it's an underrated feature. I have done a bunch of nozzle changes and I print more with this printer because I'm not concerned about switching nozzles between sizes. I've gotten really good minis and really fast parts in the same few hours.
The nozzles are expensive but they are SO easy to change. You likely won't mess it up if you need to change out a nozzle, which is very different from other printers on the market.
There is a way to put vanilla klipper on this printer. I've tried but I don't feel the stock software is lacking in any way other than a web interface. The built in firmware isn't bad at all and the fact that you can send files right from Orca is really great.
Overall, I can't believe how cheap this printer is for how good it is. And they keep making it cheaper!
