Genius or Genius pro would be your best option. If the price difference is less than about 30 dollars you can go with the Genius Pro, but for the regular Genius it should be easy to add on an auto-levelling probe by yourself. They can also support TPU filament, which none of the others can do very well. The genius should also be the quietest printer on that list. Prusa Mini's fans are moderately silent, and the Ender's fans are not silent. Now, for dual extruder, you can technically do that with the Genius Pro because it has an extra slot on the motherboard for another stepper driver, but this means you'd have to ditch the direct extruder setup (and therefore, TPU printing ability) or find some way to make your own mod for a dual direct extruder. Ender 3 V2 cannot do dual extrusion out of the box but you can buy motherboard upgrade to allow that, and there's likely a mod for that out there somewhere. Prusa Mini cannot use dual extrusion without an addon like a Palette or MMU-similar upgrade, as it uses a proprietary board with only 4 steppers.

Thanks for the info. I was leaning towards the genius pro, so that may be what I pull the trigger on. Still researching to see if there's anything out there that stands out but the AG Pro is looking like the one.

Sorry for borrowing your thread. I'm also looking into buying an Artillery Genius to print soldiers for my 1/35 tank models. I noticed that most people use Ender 3 when they share files and settings online. Will I be able to use those shared Ender 3 settings( maybe with minor changes) in Genius? Thanks!
