Just buy the printer for now and get a roll of PLA from Amazon. Start by printing a couple of items already loaded on the printer.
I haven't used the ad5m but with the number of good reviews for the centauri carbon and the number of people that bought it, it will probably get a much bigger 3rd party support for accessories and replacement. Also they'll be more fixes and use designed upgrades. So I think as a platform it'll be much better.
Depends on what you want to print. If you are printing PLA, PETG and TPU you won't need the enclosure and can save the $100. But if you are going to want to print ABS, ASA or step up to engineering filament you'll need the enclosure. I was happy with my ender 3 clone until I got into ASA.
oh you also get a camera and other upgrades but the enclosure is the big ticket.
If I were to do it all over, I think I would just do the printer and possibly an additional .4 hotend and/or .2 hotend.
The cheaper / more effective alternative for vibration damping is to put to put it on top of a 16x16 concrete paver with a 16x16 rubber paver underneath.
I went a little overboard on mine and used a rubber paver with 2x concrete pavers on top + a 3"x3" square of thin foam padding in each corner between layers to reduce vibration transfer and adjust for imperfections in the concrete surfaces. (For anyone curious, the foam I used was a roll of stick on molding that I picked up from Temu for free)
Note that the foam initially seemed like it wasn't going to work because everything felt more wobbly -- after a few days of letting it sit with some runs of input shaping calibration thrown in to shake things around, though, it's almost completely compacted and feels more secure than it did before.
Long story short, I think their pre-order demand was higher than expected and they've been working hard to catch up so that creates capacity to finally build out the OEM parts catalog.
This is an absolute workhorse of a printer. If you only need single color prints, this thing is easily on-par with the quality I get from my Bambu Lab P1S. It's actually faster in some cases with equal quality. Multi material capabilities have been promised in Q3 of this year but yet to be formally announced and I expect it will be tough to get initially.
As other's have mentioned, P1S/X1C/A1 plates work on these and also 3rd party compatible hotends are showing up on Amazon/Ali already.

having said that a friend of mine preordered one and it arrived last week. He has been very happy with it, coming from an Ender 3 and Resin printer.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank SumDuud
no critters or cats to go near it either
It will also kill the sound a bit if it is fully enclosed. some have the top open which isn't good for sound dampening.

Mine arrives today, so I am looking forward to trying it out! I'm coming from the original Ender 3 that served me well but required a lot of tinkering.
