EDIT (Sorry just realized the following question has already been answered): I agree with you on the D5S, plus being open means we could not do abs or nylon correct? Not that that alone is a deal breaker but seeing as most printers can do those materials its something worth considering.
The ultimaker 2 seems like a quality piece, however i noticed that the filament is 2.85mm. I have never seen this size before and dont want to get locked into a situation of were the only ones that make the filament for this printer so we can charge whatever. Are there other options for 2.85 filament, or would we be able to run 3.0 filament in the ultimaker instead?

To print with ABS and nylon, high temp hot end, hot bed, enclosed printer body are a must,
or else you can only print with very small objects.
So Wanhao D5S series are not for you,
they are not equipped with hot bed, and have a not easy to enclose printer body.
And for Ultimaker 2, 2.85mm filament is not a common specification indeed,
I think you can confirm the compatibility to them.
