Budget Beginner Printer - Sovol or something else? (self.3dprinting)

So I've been looking in to getting my first printer and the amount of choices and recommendations are a bit overwhelming. I've seen here and elsewhere the budget printers typically need some tinkering out of the box, which is part of what I'm after so no big deal there.

I was pretty well set on a Sovol SV06 but then I saw the SV07 is only running $60 more with Klipper and now I don't know. I looked into the Sovol SV06/06+/07, Anycubic Vyper or Cobra, Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro/4/4 Pro, and the Creality Ender 3 Neo. People seem split on Crealitys so not a strong contender there but everything else seems so close in price and specs.

Any advice which way I should go?

Go for the the sovol 7 or the Elgoo neptune 4

Creality’s quality control has plummeted over the last few years.
