Just an update. 3 days into using the printer the bed just stopped heating. Now being one of the pre-order customers I was actually expecting some bugs. What I was concerned most about is how support would work halfway across the planet, and with the limitations of just working by text. I must admit that the whole thing went more smoothly than I could have asked for. Their engineers understood my problem, gave me a diagnostic check to verify, and gave me a work-around (probably a bit risky, but my choice). A replacement part has also been authorized. So far I see no reason to pass on this printer if you have very large parts to print.
Wonder if it makes sense time-wise to use the thing for its flat bed area but not its height. I have some designs that will print many-up per plate on the SV07+. It would be interesting to know if the bigger one had some operating efficiency in that regard.
I have access to a glass shop that can make me a glass sheet any size I want. Would I be able to place a tempered piece of 500x500x500 glass on top of this surface? I really want to get this printer but wanted a glass surface. Or a clean sheet of stainless. Also, since the bed only does 80c is there anyway of upping the power of the power supply to get it up to 110c so we can print ASA?
So far, the mesh seems to be very accurate and there are no obvious errors in the first large print we are making. Have noticed that bed adhesion to the pei plate is a bit excessive at least with the sample filament. Will update this observation as I have the chance to use different filaments. Overall I am impressed, but I haven't done enough testing to really nail down my opinion. I can say I have experience with several new release printers and so far this one shows the most potential and the most out-of-the-box functionality of all.
What many people don’t get is, that full spools take significant space in packaging especially with smaller printers. With large printers that doesn’t matter, since there’s always room left, but if you have to enlarge boxes you need more containers and storage which is expensive on large scale. It’s not mainly about the filament cost.

just wait till you hear about the 800x800 printer elegoo is cooking up....

How’s the quality over the whole area?

I agree^ I’ve printed some big prints over the past 2 weeks and the bed mesh is functional
99. I sent mine back
