If you are starting from scratch, I would suggest a 32-bit controller over an 8-bit one. If you are having to buy the controller and drivers, you could end up spending almost as much on the 8-bit as a 32-bit one. Also, not having to recompile/download firmware to make simple changes will save you a lot of headaches in the future.

I went with the Duet 0.8.5 for my CoreXY and Delta printer. While the CoreXY doesn't see a lot of advantages with the extra compute power, having a really nice web and print server in one unit is nice. I didn't have to spend the extra $35 for a Pi to run Octoprint on.

ElmoC, what would your view on this kit be, if you don't mind me asking?
The option to not take the upgraded RAMPS system and then i could purchase the DUET separately like you advised.

Does the price look like you would expect it to be? Not too cheap for the contents of the kit? I appreciate your help, thank you.

When i was looking at a printer a while back i was looking at the printrbot simple, but then i went against the pre-built option. If you was in my shoes and looking to get a printer for the first time, would you go the route of pre-built, kit or self sourcing parts? Be honest, even if its the more expensive route.
I have been reading your build the last couple of days, this is what inspired me to want to build a CoreXY. What a coincidence i'v been looking through your build without knowing it was you!
