The verdict

Buy the P1S Combo. 8.8/10, #7 of 51 FDM printers.

If you need an enclosed printer and multi-color in a single package, the P1S Combo is the cleanest option. The P2S has since launched as the hardware successor, so check current pricing; you may find the P1S Combo discounted. For ABS printing with occasional multi-color work, this is a better buy than the open-frame A1 Combo regardless of generation.
