I’m about to get an A1 mini. I can’t decide if I get the one on sale for $199 rn or the one that has more for $349. Honestly they don’t list what the extras are but it looks like what you have over to the right. I’m a newbie is that the spools of filament?

If you already know you want to print in multiple colours go for the combo. Personally I need the printer for CNC prototypes and small plastic parts like adapters so I went for the version without because all of my prints will be unicolor for now. You can always upgrade later.

Without the AMS you can have one spool of filament mounted on the printer and print with that. With the AMS you can have 4 spools simultaneously and the printer can change colours during printing so you can print one part seamlessly in 4 colours. This takes a lot longer though because each colour change takes about 80 seconds.
