Not a mistake, I've got an ender 3 and a cr10. Both are fine, keep your expectations realistic and calibrate each axis, especially the extruders. Use PLA, consider getting a new build plate if your prints won't stick. I recommend flashing firmware on the ender 3 unless you know what was loaded onto it last, doesn't have to be fancy firmware just something you know for sure is configured for your printer. A cr10 should probably get firmware as well but I never loaded new firmware on mine and the controller is older so I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
Don't forget the cost of filament, if you print a lot you may spend more on filament in a year that your printer budget.
