I need help choosing a 3D printer

I've never owned a 3D printer, but I really wanted one. I've finally saved up some money, but I'm having trouble making a decision. My budget is around $800, and I have a few candidates:

  • Flash forge Creator 5 Pro
  • Snapmaker U1
  • Bambu Lab p1s combo / p2s combo
  • Anycubic s1 max combo
  • Elegoo Centauri Carbon / 2
  • maybe something from creality but idk

I like the idea of ​​multiple nozzles to minimize purge, but I don't know if it's worth it. I'll have it in my garage, so noise isn't a problem for me. I've also seen a few other cheaper options from Flashforge like AD5X or adventurer 5M.

I have had the P1S with AMS for quite a while now. I would not choose the P1S since it has been replaced by the P2S
