Buying decision

What should drive your choice?

Keep the variants separate

This comparison uses LX2 20W, not its 40 W variant or optional infrared module. S1 here is 40 W; output alone does not establish cutting speed.

Camera or pin-point positioning

LX2 has a camera and 500 × 305 mm bed. S1 uses pin-point positioning without a camera on a 498 × 319 mm bed. Both still require extraction.
