Only $1,000 difference? Makerbot's Replicator 2 is approaching triple this price at $2200. Makerbot is moving upmarket into the semi-proffesional market and abandoning the hobbyist and student market leaving an opening for sub-thousand dollar robots like this one.
In fairness to Replicator 2, the output versatility looks scores more impressive than Panda's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o6pcbhylmQ. I suppose it all depends on the hobbyist.
