Is the elegoo centauri carbon 2 a good printer

Question

Looking at getting into 3D printing with a budget of £300-£450 and keep seeing the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo.

Specs look solid on paper, enclosed CoreXY, 256x256x256 build volume, 350° nozzle, multicolor system. Seems too good for the price tbh which is making me suspicious.

Anyone actually own one? Mainly wondering:

Is the multicolor Canvas thing actually worth it or is it gimmicky/annoying in practice

How bad is the software really? Keep seeing people mention it needs "tuning"

Is the firmware good?

Whats the print quality like?

Any hardware issues cropping up after a few months of use

Many thanks if you like the machine please explain what's good about it or if you hate it please explain why it's bad.
