It's much more comparable to the X1C then P1S. Especially the Ethernet port is a feature of the X1E which costs double the prusa core one

If both printers are the same on speed, quality and reliability (and we'll have to wait for reviews to test this) prusa will be ahead again because of repairability

The X1E and P1S are atrocious in this regard. We had one X1E having to be returned to manufacturer for repair and a P1S being thrown away since repair was not worth the cost/effort

I'm also unhappy with the Bambu's closed access so I am interested in (another/upgraded) Prusa. Bambu restricts PC network access to a closed source plugin for their slicer. They ship a LAN mode for their printers which is completely incompatible with their remote control phone apps, requiring adding your printer to their cloud service. Without that, I can't do something as simple as remotely starting a print job that I've already loaded into the SD card.

Prusa provides an easily accessible web interface running on the printer.
