The verdict
Buy the Halot-Mage Pro. 7.2/10, #7 of 12 resin printers.
The integral light source is a genuine differentiator: prints cure more evenly across the full plate than competitors using external matrices. If you're in Creality's ecosystem already, this fits cleanly. Otherwise the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra is the safer pick.
