Not the largest build volume - but I've rarely needed anything bigger.

And if you're serious about 3d printing - Printbite makes life an awful lot easier :-)

Both geetech and xyz are kind of low end in build quality and support.

qidi are at the opposite end.

The other thing I'd suggest is change tact completely and go for a big arse delta. : http://www.reprapmall.com/index.php?...product_id=117

yes it's a kit, but very easy to build and stupidly large build volume and very fast print speed.
Completely opensource, quality components and great support.
My build 'blog' for it's smaller sibling. http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...t-a-delta-kit-)

That qidi looks very interesting, how is it in terms of slicers support or similar stuff, i want to make sure i don't end up using only a proprietary software or not free ones, also you think the qidi is worth the refund of the current davinci pro 1.0 for roughly the same price?
