In need of a printer that can handle and reliably print PLA and PA. Is Q2 the right choice

I'm looking to start prototyping a project that I've been working on for quite some time now and I was thinking of doing PLA while the "trial and error" phase is happening. After that, because the part needs to be structurally sound, I will be printing it in PA or maybe even PA-CF. I've started off this journey looking for a printer about 5 months ago. Started with an ECC1 and ended up on a Qidi Q2. Most of what I've heard about this printer has been good. It handles what I would need it to handle with ease. What worries me are the firmware gremlins of early models. Were those resolved and have any new issues (hardware or firmware) arisen? Looking for honest feedback before I go out and cash out nearly $700 for one.

Just FYI this would be my first 3D printer. I am buying it because at the price that people are charging for printing locally ($0.12 per gram of PLA, supports included) I will probably spend the price of the Q2 just to have someone print it for me...figured I might as well then buy the printer and print it myself.
