As far as I can see 50 micron resolution is more than adequate for my needs, and the saving over the Photon M3 Plus will pay for a wash and cure station which I am sure will make a difference to my real life use! Many thanks Steve for putting me onto this. (I also found another thread on buying a resin printer which has also been useful in these decisions.)

So now to see if there are any wash and cute Black Friday deals… currently looking at the Anycubic Plus and the Elgoo Mercury X/XS…
Go you, it's a huge and heavy printer that I have already had great results from. Look for the video on their site about levelling, do that before using it. It can take a little time to get it right, but once it's set. away you go and you shouldn't need to worry about it again. My thoughts were the same on resolution as my first printer was a standard Photon and it had plenty good enough resolution for me, these days it's just a number :lol:

If you find any good deals, do please share. I have the anycubic (standard size) wash and cure, which to be fair, does all my 16mm needs so far :thumbup:
