Thoughts on the Geeetech a30?

[feniss]

I can get this for a good deal right now, sub $300. I don't need to print this large very often, but overall what are the thoughts on this vs what else?

Does it actually have an all metal hotend, is it going to be a pain or is it pretty straightforward? I currently have an a10, but I got it used and its in rougher shape than I realized.
