5-inch touchscreen - I honestly could care less, the amount I use the screen is near 0, everything is controlled via wifi and the slicer.
Improved Lighting - I did end up adding better lighting to both mine but honestly this was strictly because I wanted to be able to spin around in my chair and see my prints from across the room, at no point was this a "need".
Improved Camera - again neat but I never used the camera other than to occasionally check in on my print when I was away from the house and the 2fps I was getting with the p1s was plenty to do that with.
Cooling - again awesome but I never had any problems with cooling and I printed PLA all the time with the lid on, in fact I never take the lid off and I have had 0 problems.
Guide Rods - I like the steel guide rods but the 2 seconds it took to clean the carbon rods every 100 or so hours wasnt a big deal.
Filament Handling - I printed a side mounted holder for my p1s, it is way better, 10/10 for understanding the rear spool was a terrible idea.
AI Failure detection system - I mean I'm sure its cool and all but the amount of "failures" i have had with my p1s is near 0 and most of the time it was my fault because I forgot to change what plate I was using in the settings or some other goofy thing.
New extruder - Folks this is where the money shot is, they took all the bells and whistles of the A1 series and slapped it on the refresh, the auto flow calibration on my A1 mini is chefs freaking kiss for getting insanely nice prints the clog/grinding detection is nice but honest to god I 've never had either on any of my bambu machines.
All in all you can upgrade your p1s to do damn near everything the p2s does for near nothing but I have to say unless you can get a sexy deal (like this slick deal) on a current p1s I would grab a p2s soley for the auto flow calibration, I love it on my A1 mini.
Ask me literally anything if you have any questions about the p1s or A1 mini for that matter I have literally thousands of hours on my machines.
Snapmaker U1- Still in Kickstarter, yet to deliver, biggest 3d printing KS with 20 million in pledge amount.
Indx by Bondtech will be coming with Prusa CoreOne.
Bambu did showcase of their own version of this with H2C which they claim they been working from years. But because they just want to sell AMS it's still AMS dependent, you will get some filament saving with this but not time saving, as you still need to cut, retract and push new filament.
Also: h2c is expected to be 2k+

It's frustrating that Bambu is trying to sell AMS when the rest of the market is moving on from it. Why the heck H2C design is dependent on AMS?
What's the other alternative in color 3d printing?
It also looks like the X1C is going away.....shows Sold Out and with the new P2S I'm not sure if there is room in the line up for it anyway. I love mine but I'm 99% positive I'll be getting a H2C when it comes out.
