I'm not an XYZ user, so I don't know what board it uses to be honest. But you can easily get a superior board in Europe like a Ramps 1.4, or my personally preferred RUMBA or Duet Wifi.

Printers are much more simple than some other forms of tech, and most parts are interchangeable and able to be upgraded with little skill. Even if you were topurchase a new board from XYZ, you would still need to flash firmware. If you bought the boards I mentioned above, you would still have to flash, but are far more durable and allow things like dual extrusion and faster heat up times.

The XYZ come preflashed. They use a custom controller that will only work in their machines.

Nice of them to offer it preflashed, but there is nothing stopping a user from using a different board.
