I'm on the prusa mini as my first printer and it's done spectacularly well, the few times I've needed a bigger bed I've been able to segment the parts and glue it back together.
One thing you haven't mentioned is where your printer will be, mine is in my living space, so noise is a big concern. Placing down a foam pad and then a paving stone under the printer stops vibrations from echoing through the table it's on. But the bambu printers though amazingly featured for the price, are noisy beasts.
I don't own Prusas but I migrated from super slicer to prusaslicer and being able to cut models and add locating pegs easily is such a game changer for larger parts
