Could not have said it better myself.
I learned so much with my first printer (CR-10). It was fiddly though and took a bit of tweaking each time to get a good first layer. Now I have a Prusa and it is so reliable that I almost miss the tinkering sometimes. I'll regularly start prints while I'm out of the house and can come home to perfect prints with no hassle. They are an expensive way to enter the hobby if you aren't sure what you want or how much you'll use it.
One of these days I'll splurge on a Prusa XL. That thing is cool as hell.
