If I were going to buy a new printer today, I’d get the Saturn 4 Ultra (which I realize is out of your price range) - I think the set of features it has, especially in regards to mitigating errors (tilting vat, debris detection, auto leveling) make it a very solid printer you won’t have to fuss with, and will last you a good long while. Getting closer to your price range (and which I currently own) would be the last gen Saturn 3, which you can find for around $299.
Honestly, neither of them
What do you recommend around the 250 range that is comparable in size?

The tilting vat looks like a fantastic innovation and first time hearing about it. Are there others that have that too?
I've got a halot mage, I haven't had any issues of note and I've printed quite a few minis. Just my experience and 2 cents
