Buy the Kobra 2 Pro. 8.4/10, #15 of 51 FDM printers.
If you want Klipper without spending $300+, the Kobra 2 Pro delivers. The 220mm bed is the main trade-off vs the Neptune 4 Plus, but the machine is more compact and the Anycubic direct-drive setup handles PETG and TPU well. A solid choice for the $249 slot.

The Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro scores 9/10 for beginner-friendliness. It's a great choice for beginners.
Pros: Klipper at $249: real input shaping and pressure advance out of the box. Direct drive handles flexibles without a fight. 26-point mesh leveling means first-layer failures are rare. Anycubic's ecosystem has solid community support and replacement parts. Cons: 220x220mm bed is smaller than newer $250 competitors like the Neptune 4 Plus. Open frame limits material options; ABS is borderline without modification. Anycubic's Klipper fork is more locked-down than Elegoo or Creality stock Klipper.
