> As long as they remain the lowest priced and the best, they can do whatever they want if you ask me

Are they actually still the best on price/performance? There are now dozens of Bambu clones at lower prices, I'm wondering how much worse those are (for example, a printer like the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2)?

Lower prices? I'm seeing the Carbon 2 priced 12% more than a P1S and 60% more than an A1. The base A1 goes for like 270€. I'm not sure if that's possible to undercut without losses if you sum up just the price of the hardware.

Indeed, but if you add the AMS options to both, the P1S suddenly becomes a lot more expensive.

The A1 is in a different weight class, not being enclosed.
