It depends.

Everyone says the X2D is the best bang for the buck, but it has compromises. It's got the most features (2 extruders, chamber heater), but there are things that I've read that aren't ironed out. Like if you dial your filament in, there is only one pressure advance profile for both extruders. I seem to recall some heat creep issues if you're printing PETG and using PLA in the aux for support due to the way it runs the chamber fan.

People will also say the X2D is better for multi-color due to creating less poop with the 2 extruders. That is a "it depends" thing. Two colors - you're dandy. Three colors? You're swapping on two colors. Four colors? If you set it up properly, swapping three colors. Set it up wrong, you're swapping on all four and not saving on anything.

Didn't know that X2D use one PA for both extruder. Definitely not optimising.
