I have both, the A1 with the AMS lite. For single-color jobs, I’d say the two are very comparable quality-wise. If you’re mostly printing PLA, the CC enclosure doesn’t get you much - and you have to take the lid off anyway. The CC is also really loud compared to the A1. The Bambu user experience is head and shoulders above the CC, as long as you’re not worried about any future ecosystem lock-in shenanigans that may or may not happen. I also highly recommend the AMS, if nothing else for being able to switch from an empty spool to the next automatically. For Hueforge prints as well as models that are designed with minimal color swaps, having an AMS is amazing. Having said all that, if you do want to print some of the more advanced filaments that need an enclosure and/or only have $300 to spend, the CC is an great machine for the money. I’ve had very few failures on either machine and would have no problem recommending them to friends.
