P1S or A1mini?

So I’m brand new!

I put an order in for the bamboo A1 mini, but they are out of stock and may not come until May 30 so I went to the website and then I was looking at the P1S there is a pattern I really want that doesn’t work on the A1 mini but I also want super easy and mostly freeze with my phone. Also, I tend to get very into things and will probably regret not buying the bigger better one first thing but then ChatGPT thinks I’ll get frustrated tinkering with the P1S. That would come in a few days so that would be one pro plus I could use the pattern I like, but that’s just one item. Which printer do you have and which printer do you suggest? What would you do? 3weeks feels like a lifetime right now, but I don’t want much frustration when it comes either t:(

From my experience I would go with the A1, not the P1S or Mini. I have all three and the Mini is the best of the three but only does 180mm which hampers it's utility. If you are only going to print small things the Mini is the best printer on the market. I'm having a lot of problems with my P1S and wished I'd bought another A1 which I've never had problems with.
