I would love to love Prusa's printers, but they just keep lacking IMO. They cost an absolute premium price, but you get a sort of "yesterday's tech" experience with with them. I can get two voron v2.4 350x350x350mm kits for the price of a single Prusa core one L, and aside from active chamber temp control the core one L has basically the same functional features as the vorons.
The web-interface experience is so much nicer with klipper + mainsail/fluidd than what prusa offers. The abundance of additional community-made features for klipper is immense and usually extremely easy to implement, it's a shame prusa insists on their own ecosystem.
If you enjoy building the Voron that's definitely a better deal (and I think I would) but if you're doing it to save money you have to factor in that time in the cost as well. I was briefly considering buying a Core One L after they become available with INDX, because it would be nice with a printer which includes everything and just works. But the VFA problems discouraged me, Prusa's suggestions to overtension belts and modified slicer profiles which try to avoid certain speeds feels like a bandaid solution to what is fundamentally a hardware design flaw IMO.
