Pros
  * Some members ones from this range already, so in-house knowledge
  * Big print size, so useful for people who have a smaller one at home
  * [[https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une|Open source software]] for the printer

Cons
  * My (Alex) experience of Neptune Pro 3 - making sure the bed is evenly heated before calibration else it doesn't work. So a bigger bed on NP4 might make this more of a hassle?  Looking into this, it seems like care with bed heating and calibration is needed.
