What’s your budget and target size? I love my Qidi max3. I just got an elegoo centari for my dad and so far it seems decent.
Here's another vote for the X-Max 3. Mine has been quite solid.
If anyone is interested in multi color support, though, it seems that the Qidi "Box" filament changer deal will never be made compatible with the Max series, and will only work with the new/current Plus 4. There is at least one third party solution for this in the CoPrint ChromaSet thingy, but this engenders some pretty significant compromises and also locks you into using their nozzles, in addition to reducing the print volume significantly which kind of defeats the purpose of the X-Max 3.
If you have any AMS-ish aspirations, the X-Plus 3 and X-Max 3 are probably out of the running.
I was going to say about 10x10x10 inches, but after recalculating the dimensions of the latest thing I'm making (a pill bottle organizer) I may be able to squeeze it onto the mini, so the thing that prompted this post may be a non issue, at least for now. Continued suggestions are welcome though.
