If I had $10,000 to spend?

My first thought was also to buy a Sintratec SLS machine as it opens up many new possibilities and with different powders you can print various materials.
A ceramic bead polisher is not extremely expensive to smoothen your parts.
The MCOR machines feel a bit low-tech and crafty to me, I see some use for it business-wise but it's not my cup of tea. Colors are a bit faded, you are limited to one type of material that is mechanically strong but otherwise not very interesting, and it is slow.
I would consider buying different DIY machines - a desktop CNC mill/cutter/engraver and a small injection molding machine for example.

well, i have a MPCNC, 40"x40" so im set there... with a laser engraver attachment.
I could always use a small injection molding machine

Right now I have 1 DLP SLA printer (muve3d, amazing), a Gcreate Gmax 1.5xt+ (amazing), a CTC riverside form1+ clone (meh), and my MPCNC router on a winch haha... and sharks with laser beams.

Just always looking to up my game.

have you seen them in the 'flesh' as it were ?

The part colours are anything but washed out and the parts themselves are not at all 'crafty'. They feel like a cast resin.
Over the last 3 years they've gone from strength to strength. Fascinated to see what the output from the new machines is like at this years tct (end september).
