This or That

Based on feedback I got from my previous post, I figured out I need a UV laser to mark 3d printed stuff (TPU, PETG and PLA... and occasionally PET)

I am going back and forth between:
the Xtool f2 Ultra UV (dumb name to have two very different F2 Ultras).
The Wecreat Lumos UV currently on kickstarter.

I also looked at the Commarker but was discouraged by some negative reviews which pointed out several 'janky' design choices and then their website also reflects this inability to execute even simple things. Not sure I want to spend 4k+ on a company I don't trust.

I understand that Xtool does not support Lightburn, it is 4.1k and 5w.
I understand that Wecreat has some support Lightburn Pro, it is 3.7k and 6w.
Not sure I would be using Lightburn, but it seems well regarded.
I like that these are both enclosed (I have a curious dog, a mastiff). I would need to get an air-filter for them as well, but figured I would need to get the same brand. I saw in a review that the Commarker one does not fit very flush, and since he is tall enough to look over the counter while it is running, this gap is concerning.

I would prefer a xy/gantry over the galvo approach, but no one seems to sell a UV that isn't a galvo.

Is there any known pros or cons to differentiate these two?

Is there a similar price model I am missing the boat on?
