I had issues with bed leveling from the start. I switched to an eddy current sensor for bed leveling. That was an ordeal to get functioning but that was partially my fault for flashing the wrong firmware. I still run into an occasional nozzle bed crash on calibration at the beginning of a print. The eddy sensor is significantly faster for measuring the bed plate though.
These printers are notorious for having "taco" shaped print beds. Larger prints require pre-heating the bed for 20-30 minutes for the bed to settle into its heated shape. There are some guides to help flatten it out there. I generally only run into issues if I have a large print that goes into around 20mm of each corner. I've had the nozzle drag there on a few occasions.
If you don't mind some tinkering, it is a great printer for larger format prints. This is my first klipper based printer and I definitely prefer it.
It can print rather fast but I'd slow it down for typical printing as quality suffers from the speed.
It's not an easy experience to say the least. That said you can print BIG if you know what you're doing.
Prusa is expensive but I also don't need to run it for 30 minutes to get it up to temp to print like it's an old truck in Alaska in the dead of winter. lol.
But as others have said, it's great because I've already cut my teeth on the simpler, easier issues the Mini has had on rare occasion, and that prepared me to deal with this thing's downsides. Calibration is annoying, the flexibility of Klipper/Mainsail makes it complicated at times, the bed hardware sucks, there's a stupid pin for one of the rollers in the extruder that shifts around and causes weird, inconsistent underextrusion until you print a fix.
It is a pain in the ass and also has made large/urgent prints enormously easier to complete. I hate it and I love it.
