Help me choose a 3D printer for my needs!

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a new 3D printer and could use some advice. In my country, I have these options available for roughly the same price:

Bambulab A1 Mini AMS

Bambulab A1 (no AMS) for 20% more

Anycubic Kobra 3 AMS

Ender 3 V3 Plus

Artillery Sidewinder X4 Plus S1 for 20% less

Here’s my situation:

I mostly print small, single-color parts right now.

In the future, I plan to print larger, single-color pieces (a 300x300 bed would be ideal). The A1 bed size could work with some adjustments.

I’m debating whether to save money and go with the A1 Mini (no AMS), but this would limit my ability to grow my business in the near future.

What would you recommend? Is it worth going for the larger build size or sticking to smaller, more affordable options? Appreciate your insights!
