Recommendation Needed: Small Footprint, Large Capacity, under $1k?

[NYCesquire]

Hi there. Looking to buy my first 3D printer. Specifically, looking for a kit. I'm a handy guy (DIY just about anything electronic) and up for the project. Considerations:

1) Small footprint. I live in NYC (obvi) so it's gotta be efficiently-sized.
2) Large build volume. Hah! Small but big, see? Like the Dr. Who phone boothey thing.
3) Under $1K.
4) Good public support because I like to ask questions.
5) Heated Bed

I am leaning toward a delta style printer because they have a good footprint to build area ratio, but there seem to be about 3,432,431 kits out there to build. This seems to be the go-to recommendation for first timers:

Why would I buy that, though, when I can get this, which seems to have all the upgrades I'd want out of a rostock anyway?

[actually on second thought this has a poor build envelope to footprint ratio. Off the list!]

What can I do with it? What CAN'T I do with it that I should be able to do? Would I be crazy to go with this instead?

Or... this has a great footprint to build volume ratio, even though it's not a kit or a delta!

Any thoughts on not buying a kit and just buying a hatchbox alpha instead?

It has a tremendous build to footprint ratio and pretty good reviews/support.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
