my opinion: you probably won't like the amount of fiddling of any FDM printer, even rock solid ones with autolevelling, you end up having to fiddle with slicer settings to optimize for speed, quality, printing overhangs or weird geometry, strength, whatever.
Are the resin ones any better?
Resin with lycheeslicer is incredibly simple, much less tinkering. Messy because you need to do the whole wash and cure thing, but the slicer has a "magic wand" button that never fails me. I leveled my Saturn once when I bought it, and haven't had to do any tinkering since.
But fdm and resin printing kinda have different purposes. I use fdm for functional stuff (plastic strong), and resin for dnd minis (resin pretty).
