Not sure exactly what you have in mind but there are many great 3D printers that cost ~ 70-80% less than the Util, produce great output and are pretty much plug and play with standard slicers like Simplify 3D. Qidi, Flashforge are a couple... then there is this Bibo dual extrude model I saw that includes a built in laser etcher. I'd start first with one of these and see how they work for you. Just my opinion...
