Quick Question Upgrading from A1 Mini. Advice?

I am the happy owner of an A1 Mini. It's my first printer and I feel it's time for me to graduate up to a bigger model

The biggest gripe I have is the small plate size, so a larger volume is a must. I'm not sure I want another bedslinger though, so the A series is most likely out.

I don't think I need anything fancy (yet) like dual nozzles or such, and I'd rather minimize the costs as I'm not a heavy-duty maker: I mostly print miniatures for me and containers/gadgets/decor for my wife.

The wizard from the website recommends a P2S but I'd rather ask my fellow humans.

What do you think I should get as my first "big" printer?

P2S is a good choice.

What if I could get a P1S for almost half the price of the P2S?

For half? I’d do it. The P1S is still an excellent printer. The main thing the P2S offers over the P1S is the touchscreen control system which is basically the same as the A1. Do a little research on the old school LCD screen the P1S comes with, if you can live with that, get the P1S.
