We have a Replicator 1XL and an Ultimaker 2 in our group of printers. Both print very reliably for us but the Ultimaker 2 is hands down a better choice for us. faster, quieter, less problematic. Our Replicator had to be modified several times to keep it printing but our Ultimakers (we had an Ulti 1 last year) always printed well stock. Not that it is that big a deal to "upgrade" a Makerbot, but it all adds up.
