I'm also wondering the same thing, and it's part of the reason that the price of the commercial versions has kept me at bay. The printrbot if delivered (all signs currently point to a yes, if a bit of a delay because of the massive demand that was entirely unexpected by the founder). The cost put it right in line with what I could afford at the time and the quality in all the beta prints seems to be on par with some of the higher quality commercial printers like the MakerBots. I love the dual extruder on the replicator but it's not something I think is needed for someone who is just starting out with it as a hobbiest that might want to expand into designing something to sell. I likely see myself as using it to build custom project boxes and things since I don't have a CNC router/mill to do it out of wood currently. Eventually if I get good enough I plan on trying to make small toys for my niece and nephew and possible model train pieces.
