Better compared to the MK4S price since you get the enclosure with it.

That being said, definitely high compared to bambu, but that is also because bambu takes advantage of much lower labor, operating, and land costs in china. It is quite normal for EU-designed and certainly EU manufactured products to be more expensive.

Yes, but this is likely still assembled from components manufactured in China. So for the DIY kit it's only pre-assembly of submodules that's done in Czech republic (depending on how pre-assembled the kit is). If you have to assemble all components yourself, then they'll have close to no manufacturing cost in EU.
