Some amazing machines out there in that price range.

This isn't even close to being a good buy.
Well I agree that it's too expensive and it is mostly innovation through featurism, in essence being not much more than the next improved version of the Ultimaker. With that philosophy in mind the aim should be to keep the price point the same relative to the current market compared to the last version.

I wouldn't call it an industrial machine before it will have a larger build volume, enclosed box and superior printing speeds but it is a good machine for professional use because of the reliability - failed prints and repairs can be major bottlenecks for a business. Thumbs up from me for the Ultimaker 3.
