auto calibration and small size/quiet etc are all things that are indeed needed for a "family" printer. i used several printers, from hobbygrade/self assembled to makerbots etc. (nothing much above 3k tho), and they all need a lot of fiddling around even thus they're probably more powerfull (and certainly bigger/make bigger pieces) I can't see anybody who isn't really into it to spend so much time fiddling with them. So yeah.. it looks like a good printer to me.
