I love Elegoo's printers. Got a Neptune 2S and a 3 Pro tuned and running Klipper, they're good workhorses
I run a repair shop, and the Elegoo Neptune 4 is actually quite nice. The hot end is way easier to repair than the 3 and it's quite fast as well. Seconding this one. Downside is that they use a custom-length nozzle. But everyone seems to be doing that now.
The Sovol line of printers is good too, especially the SV-08 - It brings the voron into the world where it's not just a trophy printer that proves you can handle the worst of things.
I was thinking the Neptune 4 plus looked pretty good. If I can get my print capacity to 300mm in X and Y, options for my other hobbies (keyboard building in particular) open up. Then, I've never really tried TPU, so direct drive also seems nice.
