A10M worth?

I want to buy a second printer, I have an Ender 3, it works very well.
I am hesitating to buy another Ender or try an A10M. Normally I will print with only one color, but I do not mind spending a little more for having the casual option of printing two colors.
It's worth it, is it reliable? Will I lose quality over the Ender using a single extruder?

Thanks a lot

Hi, Geeetech A10M 3D printer, adopting open source GT2560 control board, delivers mix-color objects and greatly enriches your 3D printing life. Keeping the good performance of its predecessor A10, it aims to provide users with the quality printout and satisfactory printing experience.

Ok, how about the new bed? Geeetech don't send the glass bed more? I saw this on Banggood. I have a question about the nozzle size, it's a special size?

Hi, now replace the glass plate with a Mylar sheet. The nozzle is 0.4mm.

Bi-color printing is much more difficult than single color. Do not expect a ease of use like with the Ender3. Expect to struggle to find good profiles for Cura or S3d.
That said it is also very rewarding to make a nice bicolor or gradient print. I'm happy with my A10M because I love to mix colors but so far I always have to tweak a lot with settings and failed a BUNCH or prints for misc reasons
If Geeetech could provide a good (and working) Cura 4.1 profile, that would be great...
