I picked up a used ender 3 V3 se off of marketplace for $60 and had to repair it. Since then it's been printing 10x better than my anycubic kobra neo. I think it comes down to slicer profiles in orca slicer. The ender 3 was a wildly popular printer compared to the kobra. Cheap printers cut corners but can still print good. If you're not mechanically inclined then don't get a cheap printer.
My ender 3 stock wasn't my first printe and isn't my only printer, but some days it's my best printer.
