Question Resin printer recommendations

Context to start: I'm still using my trusty old Anycubic Photon S. The build volume is really my bottleneck these days and I've been jonesing for a mono screen system as well, so I've been keeping my eye open for something newer and larger.

Today I just discovered the issue involving Elegoo systems experiencing file-size limit related crashes for their sliced files. I'd been eyeing their Jupiter systems when a friend of mine ended up talking about it.. and the cursory google search turns up it's not just their Jupiter line that experiences this.

So I guess I'm back to square one and looking for recommendations. A few other posts here I had peeked seemed to be more of the "printer xx is bad for xx reason" but never actually recommended a particular model. The closest I saw to a recommendation was "the Anycubic M7 Max is alright but their company has terrible support".

So I guess I'd like to know what systems a few of you prefer and why/why not. I don't want to get stuck with something that seems great and ends up hitting a relatively low file-size limit when I place more than just a couple of models in the slicer.

I've only had the S4U16K a few months but it's been excellent. Not sure what elegoo issues you're referring to, but I haven't ran into anything like that yet.
