I have a e3v2, and I already have more in upgrades in it than I paid initially for the printer, each one to "fix" an issue I was having - dual z to fix x gantry from sagging, microswiss NG extruder when my regular extruder broke, the "yellow springs" and now a cr touch as I was getting real sick of manual leveling after a year of use. If you buy that printer, you will learn a lot about how it works and how to fix it. It says you're getting an automatic leveler, but take the time to learn how to manually level. The ABL helps but it's not a magic bullet. Also, if the 2 rolls of filament you're getting are open to the atmosphere you'll want to make sure to dry them, otherwise you'll learn a whole other aspect of 3d printing that will drive you nuts.
