Do you think the Creality K2 Plus is worth waiting for? (l.roofo.cc)

I have had my Creality Ender 3 Pro for a while now and I have upgraded it quite a lot. Lately I have been thinking about wether I should put in some more money (better hotend, maybe new steppers, maybe enclosure, maybe part cooling fan) or if I should buy a new printer that is a more of complete package. A bit more build volume would be nice as well.

I am intrigued by the Bambu Labs printers but I don't like their somewhat proprietary approach. So I have been looking around for competitors and I saw that Creality has shown their new K2 Plus with an AMS. I wonder if it's worth waiting for that. The specs sound good. Is the K1 good now? I heard it had some problems in the beginning.

Qidi has been fantastic for me. Amazing customer support. They've sent replacement parts as well.

Same, I have a Smart3 and Max3 and both have been great! The Smart3 came first and it made me absolutely hate my other printers because it just worked without me needing to mod it or fiddle with it.
