Compared to Snapmaker U1:
-smaller print area (256mm cubed vs 270mm cubed)
-C5 is cheaper, C5Pro still cheaper but fully enclosed, heated, filtered

Did the Snapmaker lower in price, because $849<$899.

Oops, you are right - I was so used to the *49 price they had until recently. Yes, the U1 is now $899.

Haven't seen any reviews yet, either.

Snapmaker was very proactive on that front during development (which the U1 still is in, to be fair). However, Flashforge has not been other than a few limited "preview" videos which are no more than advertisements.

I had paid to reserve one; however, I'm not going to go through with it at this time as I'm honestly tired of being charged to have the "privilege" to alpha test products for these companies.

That's because the price of the pro is 849 without the early reservation coupon, and $799 after the coupon. OP has the wrong price in the title.

Very curious about this printer. I enjoyed the AD5X when I had it. But I will wait until the verdict is out on this one.

If create an account on snapmaker site and put a U1 in your cart and then leave, they will send you a coupon for $50 off. At least they did for me about a week ago.
