I started with Creality K1C and I am generally happy - prints all the fancy filaments like PA6CF with no issues. It’s an enclosed coreXY printer with an extraction fan so I can vent all the fumes through the window. Runs open source firmware that can be modified by user. If I wasn’t limited by space, I would get a K1 Max. It needed some upgrades - most of them you can 3D print.
If I had more money to spend, I would definitely go with Prusa Core - for the ideological reasons mostly.
Not OP: I can’t give up gmaps because none of the open source maps I tried allow me to search for business name or a type of business (gas station, grocery store etc). I am sure they would guide me wonderfully but I would need to look up the address first and that’s less than ideal when driving.
