Is now a good time to get a Bambu? (lemm.ee)

Thinking about getting my first printer to print some organization stuff around the house, some nerf parts, as well as some small toys and fidget for friends/kids. The Bambu Lab A1 seems to be notable for being beginner friendly without a lot of fiddling.

Read recently about the lawsuit and I'm wondering if I should wait until that's resolved before pulling the trigger. I'm worried that some outcome there will eliminate important features or worst case make it obsolete entirely. Any thoughts?

@RacerX Good luck and enjoy!... I imagine it will be like my X1C, in that firmware updates are strictly a manual thing that the user has to trigger, so if they do have to cripple something in the future, hopefully you can just keep your printer working as it had before.
