Folgertech FT-5 or Makerfarm Pegasus 12″?

By the end of the month I’ll most likely get another 3D printer and thus time I’m going bigger and I’ve narrowed it down to two options. Either the Folgertech FT-5 or the Makerfarm Pegasus 12″. Here’s the pros and cons I’ve come uo with between the two.FT-5 (Cost: $499)Pros● Has a bigger Z axis of about 51mm ● Costs $151 dollars less ● Larger community than Makerfarm Pegasus (as of right now I cannot seem to find a Pegasus Facebook group) ● Can print at high speeds ● Can print accuratelyCons● (I haven’t ever bought from Folgertech before, I’m going off of what others say) Instructions are confusing ● Can be a hassle to wireMakerfarm Pegasus 12″ (Cost: $645)Pros● Sells E3D Titan and E3D V6 along with Printer for less than what you’d pay for at competitors (Titan plus E3D V6 combo is $77 dollars if I remember) ● More easier instructions from what I’ve heard ● Rock solid constructionCons● Community lacking (again can’t seem to find a Makerfarm Pegasus Facebook group. I mean if Robo3D can have one why can’t the Pegasus have one?) ● Costs for than FT-5 ● Not a whole lot of mods out there for the Pegasus in comparison to the FT-5In all as of right now I am leaning towards an FT-5 because I am within budget of the printer and I’ll also slap a Titan and Volcano on it as well (also side question how does the Volcano fair out with flexible filaments because I have a roll of Ninjaflex that still needs printing) but I’m open to changing my mind.
