FIRSTgenius is an unknown quantity at this point
I have to disagree. I have extensive experience with the MakerBot replicator 2 at Georgia Tech, as I managed the printer for the specific division. There was nothing but problems. We had to call them several times, and it was the worst support experience ever. I also now manage a Dimension 1200es SST. The printer is fantastic if you maintain it properly, but if you don't, you will have a lot of problems. I would recommend trying out the Form1 from Formlabs. I found the quality from the part compared to the makerbot and dimension was better, as it uses resins instead. The detail on the model is incredible, and there are less issues then with extrusion based printers.
