I know @Izzy has had good luck with Wanhao products

Looks interesting, in the uk it's available for £499 inc Vat.
I'll be watching YouTube for more info on it and the slicer side as well.
But I must admit I'm quite impressed with the output of the WDi3+ that Sue is using, although we have added the z bracing, the cooling fan and duct can do with improving and I'm looking for a decent 24v blower fan to try to improve the cooling. I'm tempted to see if I can get some different size nozzles for the Micro Swiss hotend, in the U.K. It's only available in 0.4mm, but if somebody was looking to get in at the cheap end the WDi3+ seems a good little printer, although there are a few little problems it seems good and Sue is having fun.

The MicroSwiss seems to be a popular upgrade for the Creality CR-10 too
Honestly, I would love to find a way to Frankenstein a UM2+ print head onto the CR-10 (or FT-5)

I was thinking the same but with a 1.75mm Olson block onto the Wanhao

It should be pretty simple to frankenstein a UM2 printhead onto a CR-10

And maybe since we have x/y we could make something to stir the material
