Makes me wonder how many teams will go for the printer lottery, and even more specifically if you win the lottery, how likely you will get your "first choice" of printers. In my opinion the Replicator 2 is way more valuable than the Makergear M2 and slightly more than the Cube.
Also there are a TON of $100 vouchers available but how much can you get from each of these resources and on what timeline?
Agree with what was said that 3D printing is very time consuming and at times can be frustrating for new users. You can minimize cost of consumables (for example, no tape needed if you upgrade to a glass build plate) but the value is definitely there!
