Heh..., feel free to throw this suggestion in the trash bin...

The question you are asking is pervasive and eternal in the tech world: Should I wait for "Device N+1"?

Whenever I get in that mode, I get a beer ("Beer N") out of the fridge, open it, open the ordering page for "Device N" at the best price I can find, and order it.

It feels great.

FWIW..., I believe the Ultimaker line is very well thought of..., and you arrived at the point yourself after what was probably some careful consideration.

If I were making a decision based on features..., I would be asking myself whether I wanted a bowden or direct drive extruder, and how important an enclosed build area is to me. The lulz edges out the um2+ a bit on build size..., but not by very much.
