Word of warning, though! Aliexpress 'Free Returns' are a complete SCAM. They will not honor it. If anything is wrong they will make you pay for return shipping, which on an item like this is quite expensive. Buy at your own risk.
EDIT:
Pulling any of my recommendations for Flashforge. They have come out on record that they are monitoring what your print at home and will alert the police if they think you are printing anything illegal
Dont support this police state garbage:

Outstanding price. Look out for nozzles though, they are proprietary and very pricey. Like $30 a piece.
Nozzles are a little high dollar, that too threw me too but my understanding is they last 1000+ hours with non abrasive filament. I came from an Ender 3 which I just changed the nozzles as the first step to solve any issue as that seemed to clear up most of them. Those cheap brass nozzles seemed to wear out on a regular basis with just PLA or PETG. Functionally, nozzle cost probably ends up being similar (over time) without 95% of the hassle / regular preventative maintenance.
FWIW, yesterday I had to take off my 5M's nozzle for the first time....I couldn't believe how easy it was compared to my last 2 Creality's.
The person seemed to be surprised by the $30-ish price tag per nozzle on the A5M and was comparing them with the vast majority of dirt cheap nozzles on some other printers that cost less than $1 per unit. They'd probably be ever more amazed by the price of your diamond tip nozzle, even with its rather impressive life span. But yes, spending (far) more can often get you better results.
Personally, I change nozzle size too often to stick to a single size however if you had the use case that might be a great method to cutdown on maintenance time, especially with abrasive filaments.

I personally lucked out getting my diamond tip nozzle through a review program, so I didn't have to pay full retail price for it, but I totally get it being borderline not worth it for others with an Ender 3 when the nozzle costs half as much as the printer itself. In that case, ruby tip nozzles would be considerably more affordable, and still immensely better than basic brass.
Since you did mention frustration with nozzle changes on Creality printers, I will mention that I found a 3D printable replacement fan shroud for mine that can be detached with no tools, just a printed plastic spring clip, and that makes it super easy to get at the hotend/nozzle for maintenance. I printed the whole thing out of PETG, but then later had to re-do the fan duct piece out of ABS since the PETG one eventually started to deform.

FWIW, I've only had the Adventurer 5M for 4-5 weeks so my 1000 hour estimate is based on info I have come across online, not a direct account. Sorry if I didn't make that clearer.

As for the Creality Ender 3 fan shroud, this is the design I used: https://www.thingiverse
I had to get a new shroud out of necessity; I had a print warp upward and crack the OEM shroud less than a month into having the printer. This one improves visibility of the nozzle as well as making it easy to get at the hot end, and I've been using it for over 3 years at this point (and statistically, my Ender averages close to 6h/day of print time).

Can't decide if I am going to keep the Ender 3 though. I have no where to use it in the house and my workshop isn't conditioned so I couldn't leave any filament out there (even for a few days) with NC humidity.

It's on the next page after clicking the Checkout button (but before clicking Place order!)
I feel like a dumb-ass😀.
