The real benefit is the bent metal frame. There are no 3dprinted parts on it at all. So as far as i can see as long as the motherboard does not fail, the only other consumable are the drive belts. And of course at the price, it is a very good moddable platform. So even if the mobo fails, you can just stick an arduino/raspbery/wateva in and off you go.
I have replaced the linear bearings on my ones with igus drylin bearings to reduce noise and added astrosyn vibration dampers too. It is now significantly quieter. The other one had them installed by the factory on the Z-axis only.
