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
• 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.
