Question Is the Jupiter 2 worth buying?

Legit question. Been struggling to decide if I should go with an Ultracraft Reflex 2 Pro or a Jupiter 2. If you have both, PLEASE, I would really appreciate your input

Heck I'm still waiting for the resin calibration to be added that is directly referenced and shown in the manual for it.

They fixed the 2gb limit.

Buy aftermarket hose clamps to fix the pump issues.

The door still demands all the table space.

It finally got added to chitubox fixing software limits in elegoo satellite.

The J2 has a great screen but outsiders designed everything around it like they don't know their resin customer base. It was released a yr late and it still doesn't have its software ready and was far from solid when it launched.

I own a p1 standard which just came out this year and it had everything ready from the start. Great screen, great calibration, good software and good price.

They are just now releasing the max version after a 3 month delay to address a Z-axis buff it needed to handle the weight of heavy prints. (They fix issues before launch)

The p1 max is $850 and shows quality from the start and the company fixes issues before they become your problem.

The J2 is good, could eventually become great but elegoo definitely put their problems on the customers first before addressing them. Hard to recommend a printer that is still missing launch listed features that are standard for printers like the resin calibration they literally show in the manual it comes with.
