Ender 3 upgrade to.....?

I've got a pair of ender 3's both with SKR Mini v3 boards, different hot ends, different extruder setups, bi-metal heatbreaks etc and I'm thinking of upgrading to something newer, faster and with an enclosure..

Anyone done similar?

I'm happy with my Creality K1 3D Printer available for £379.00 or less - prints ABS etc.

k1 does seem like a good buy at the moment.
What do you usually print? do you need bigger volume? do you want to print more exotic filaments?

Qidi have some heated enclosed printers, new normal size one and slightly older Max3 thats 330mmx300mm.

Never heard of Qidi tbh, they any good or just a cheap Chinese copy of something more mainstream?

K1 is on the radar, mostly print PLA but occasionally bits in TPU/Ninjaflex, speed increase is deffo something I'm mainly looking at.

Qidi is pretty well known.
K1 should be a good choice. A lot of promo offers on creality website
