That's correct. And, of course, larger printers can present additional problems because larger objects create more of a strain on printed supports. Many people find it's better to start on something smaller to "learn the ropes" of resin printing prior to moving up. There's also the issues of cleaning and curing larger prints which can be problematic unless some forethought has been given to those items. Anycubic makes good printers too, as long as you don't need support, which can be sub-optimal.
Elegoo's Saturn 2 (8.6x4.8x9.8 print size) can be had for under $600, as can the Anycubic Photon M3 plus (7.8 x 4.8 x 9.6 print size) though it's print size is smaller and is only 6K compared to the Elegoo's 8K. Both resolutions are probably fine, especially coming from FDM. Bigger than that, and you're generally talking over $1K. No problem if you have some experience and can justify the cost, but a lot to shell out for a beginner.
