1,000 bucks isn't far off what the middle of the road cost of a 2.4 is. I've seen kits for as low as like 550-600 bucks shipped, this is without printed parts. The high end stuff like LDO or Siboor are 1,200-1,500.
From what I've seen, middle of the road 300 mm Voron V2.4 kits are around $1300. I believe the lowest I've seen was around $950, excluding printed parts (which the same company was selling separately for over $200). When I tried compiling a BOM with self-sourced high quality parts, the total reached over $1700 before I gave up on that idea. Where have you seen $600 kits? If these are still available, I may consider one. However, I'm hesitant to go with a kit that may have lower quality components. Personally, I'm really excited for this new Prusa and will probably pick up a kit once they are available. Unless, of course, Vorons are really that affordable.
Usually I see them on Aliexpress, fysetc just had a 2.4 kit for $728 with free shipping during they're 11/11 sale. Gotta really pay attention on there though because sometimes you'll see a kit listed for cheap with like $150-$200 shipping. But if you're patient you can find really good prices. I know someone last year that got a Micron plus kit for like €550 total shipped.
