I've used more expensive printers for work (primarily Zortrax), and have owned a cheap Tevo printer and currently own a Prusa. I'm fully of the opinion to just buy a Prusa. FFF/FDM printing is at such a point that there are few performance differences between printers other than speed unless you are printing more exotic materials. More expensive printers aren't any more reliable than the Prusa in my experience, and cheaper printers typically end up as projects to get them printing reliably and safely.
