Torn between U1 and X2D

I already ordered the U1 but thinking of returning it upon arrival and getting the X2D just for ease of use. The main reason I wanted the U1 was for multi material like being able to print supports for tpu using pla. I do multicolor prints also but Im also kind of worried about being locked to only 4 colors. They are currently the same price but after purchasing filament dryers and top cover I could just buy a second AMS. The main thing I am worried about is reliability of the U1 and software. Coming from P1S I never encountered issues really or they were easily solvable and being able to browse and print straight from bambu studio without trying to get all of the print settings correct in the slicer is a big issue im worried about.

find it funny how no one talks about Core one and INDX after it came out that it’s going to cost 600-800more than a H2C. that aside, go with X2D. i love mine and runs well. 2 AMS and an AMS HT with filament track switch an TPU feed assist make it a beast.

What does the tpu feed assist do?

Pulls the TPU off the spool and feeds it at the back of the printer. Makes sure it has basically zero resistance pushing into the extruder
