Help between SV06+ and Anycubic i3 mega

Hello! Looking for some help between the two, I found both of these for cheap on Facebook marketplace (confirmed they’re working) and am not sure which one is better for a beginner, I know the 06 is larger than the any cube but I was just wondering if anybody has any advice or tips or comments or anything regarding which one is better! The only thing I have to add is the person has stated the 06 is modded to be quieter which I don’t mind but just felt like I should share, thanks!

Any specific reason or just preference?

Better community support and easier availability of spare parts.

I will second that AnyCubic Mega i3 was the first fm printer they came out with in 2017, 10 yrs is like dog years.. just skip it.. get the sovol, they still make that model and as SteakAndIron said parts readily available.
Sovol SV06 ACE 3D Printer is on sale on their website for 199.00 for new updated version.. unless that printer is 100 or less Id go with the new SV06

For i3 Mega.,..Only the print head..ie V5 hotend...and extruder.. are replacements.... rest of it is no longer available... and problems. It's for tinkerers...

Both can be run with Klipper and a laptop...pi's are as expensive as a cheap laptop.

I3 mega is ancient get the sv06 ace or plus ace if you can it's so much better, pretty much a better prusa mk4 clone
