As someone who bought a ~$150 knockoff plotter, I wouldn't recommend them unless you're unsure and just dipping your toe into the hobby. The plot quality will suffer -- even small amounts of backlash or slop in the mechanism and pen carriage will result in irritating and unfixable offsets in finer detailed plots. The bigger issue is actually software support -- all the hobbyists shell out for the Axidraw, so it's the only well-supported unit on both an art-software-workflow side and plotter-driver-software side.
