They slashed price on many creality printers. K1C is is now just 39k. Should I go for over p1s which is 52k?

I currently own a ender 3 v1 for 2 years and I am honestly sick of constantly modding and fixing it every time, so I am looking for an upgrade. Problem is I live in a 220V country and there are frequent power outages. Almost all the printers out there can easily consume 1000+ watts during initial heating period which will shut down my UPS. I started looking for a new printer based on power consumption alone and after some research I short listed these two printers which consume less 350W even in peak.

In my area ender 3 v3 costs about $280 and K1C costs $530. I am a hobbit and I usually print only with PLA and PETG and nothing else. In this case is it really worth spending twice the money on K1C? The only advantage I see in K1C for me is the core xy movement and a dust proof design. I am missing on something?
