Other companies are catching up with Formlabs.  Elegoo Jupiter launches tomorrow.  Unlike Formlabs it uses a built plate to keep costs down.  They will have a build volume compatible build volumes and resolutions (10.9" x 6.6" x 11.8" and 0.002" respectively) .

I don't have any experience with the water soluble resins so I can't comment on the smell or toxicity.

I've got an order in for a Jupiter ($600 kickstarter price). Hate having to wait until early next year for it to ship, but the price can't be beat, and the self-refilling vat is especially great for large items (as is the extendable Z axis modules). Currently have a Qidi Shadow 5.5s, works great, but the small build size really limits its usability to detail parts for the most part.

I exclusively use water washable resin (have a bottle of the regular stuff lying around, but alcohol was ridiculously hard to come by during the beginning of the pandemic). It's not as versatile, as most tend to be rather fragile when cured, but the ease of cleanup makes it worthwhile for most of the stuff I print.
