$549 enclosed all-rounder vs $2,199 multi-material system
Quick answer: The P2S covers enclosed hobby printing; the H2C runs seven materials per job via Vortek at four times the price. Unless multi-material production is your workflow, the P2S plus a full AMS is the better spend.

The P2S with an AMS handles 16-color printing with purge waste, which is fine for hobby multicolor. The H2C eliminates purge waste structurally: six swappable hotends plus one fixed, each material keeping its own melt zone, plus H-series speed and chamber.
The gap between purge-waste-annoying and purge-waste-expensive is exactly the gap between these two buyers. Hobbyists tolerate it; production counts it.

The H2D at $1,549 halves the purge problem with two independent nozzles. The H2C is for jobs where even two dedicated melt zones are not enough.
