In a word - yes. I have the X1C, not the P1P, and previously had a FFCP. I don't have much direct experience with other printers to compare. The X1C has been an amazing, frustration free experience so far. No more hacking together gcode or having to tweak it, no more manual bed leveling, no more dealing with octoprint, and multi color prints that actually work (via AMS). It's literally been a turn it on and print experience. While BambuLab isn't perfect, it's a massive step up from the 10 year old FFCP for me.

Ok, not to be negative here, but there are a lot more improvements to be done to an E3v2 before it will be a fire-and-forget printer.
- mainboard: the 4.2.7 has better drivers, but tuning the vrefs properly, will eliminate heat in both drivers and servos.
- the design is wobly, add a second z-axis servo, lead-screw etc and couple both axis using a timing belt. This will really eliminate deviations.
- add diagonal supports to the frame. This will make it more rigid and combined with the z-axis enhancements, will result in more precise prints.
- dump the original cooler and opt for something like the brissfang, add better fans (the original creality fans didn't last long here)
- print on a flexible metal sheet. Adhesion is great with petg and getting prints of the bed hasn't been easier (just flex the sheet)
You might want to put the printer in an enclosure, so the temperature is more stable. And replace your firmware.
