Is it worth getting more than the bare minimum for a 3d printer?

[akreviews]

Hey all, i'm looking to get a 3d printer, a friend has suggested to just get the cheapest ender 3 i can find which is around 250 aud
Just wondering, the creality site has countless ender 3's which i can't distinguish between at all
i don't really have a hard budget, i'm willing to spend up to like 700 if the additional features are worth it

Just wondering, should i just get the basic ender 3, or are there features that you consider essential/definite worth paying for

If you can buy something with a budget of up to 700, there are numerous better alternatives with more desireable features.

Look for features such as corexy and being fully enclosed.

Hot end and bed temperatures will determine whether you can print a bigger variety of filament types.

Build volume is very important if you think you will want to print anything more useful than amusing widjets.
