Similar experience with PRUSA for me -- I had a MK3S+ (which I loved) and paid ~$250 for the upgrade to the MK3.5S. Very, very impressed, for a modest investment I now have the new color LCD, a good chunk of the MK4 features and the print speed is at least 2x improved (if not better, I haven't quantitatively measured it but it's noticeably faster).
I went for the 3.5 upgrade as the upgrade from 3S+ to 4 was almost as much as outright buying a new 4. I'm glad I did it this way because now I'm thinking of getting the CORE One and then I'll have 2 excellent printers.
