Knowing what I know now, I' trade my Bambu P1S for a Prusa. Buy once, cry once.

My Prusa was tucked in between the cushions of my couch for a cross country move, left in storage for one year, and moved again before I just blew the first off and smashed out a perfect print from an SD card. That's a solid enough performance I don't think I'd consider any other brand.

The worst thing about Prusa is the knowledge that no matter what you buy, there will be an upgrade available to an even better one WAY too quickly, and then you'll want that one too. It's a trap, I tell you!

j/k I still love my Prusa MK3S+, though the relentless upgrade temptation is real.

Some require retentioning belts, readjusting the bed level, or other maintainance items before you can get a perfect print again.

Not in my experience. They are tools like any other tool.

And some tools are worse than others.
