O was also thinking about that, but since Bambu is so closed, I’ve started looking into other options and Qidi looks nice too

Yup, that’s how I’m using it;)
Maybe you should try thoroughly drying it, that helps a lot with PETG.
I generally print first layer at 260/250 and the latter ones 10 degrees colder. I do the same with the build plate - starting with 90, and leaving it at 80 throughout the ret of the print. With some plates you have to bee mindful of PETG sticking too well (possibly damaging them) but it works out really well with PET/PEO plates, letting the print retain the texture of the build plate. On PEI I either print it cooler, or use glue (in this case it makes it easier to separate the print from the plate).
Have you tried drying it (even if it’s straight from the factory)?
Less overhangs?
They’re a bit too reliant on the cloud and the event where „their” printers (that the users both and were using at their homes) re-printed last job because of some server issue was a bit concerning. And definitely the fact that if your printer does have issues you can’t fix/calibrate much without them is alarming to me. I’m using a K1 which might need some work but it’s manageable. If I were looking to upgrade I’d probably get Qidi Q1 Pro - same price ballpark as K1 or P1S, while the features it has seem to be closer to X-series
