Thank you for your input that is one vote for the UM3, I'll pass on the Um2go if I wanted a printer I need to mod I could get 5 Ender 3's and put every upgrade part on them and still be cheaper then the UM S5 but I have been there and done that I'll wait for the movie, I'm 50 tiny screws to loose and even smaller measurements don't make me happy.

Well if you ask @korneel he'd say get an S5. He has 8 of them and prints stuff like crazy on them. Pretty much 24/7. For money. And he used have many UM3s (I think 8 as well).
If you ask me I'd say buy a bunch of um2go's.
I have 7 Ultimakers (UMO, UM2, UM2go x3, um3, S5) and if you really need dual and wanted to stick with Ultimaker, consider the UM3. The quality goes down slightly with size so that's why I love my um2go's the most. I'd rather have 5 little printers than one big printer. However the um2go will absolutely not be a "cut the zip ties and go" kind of printer. I upgraded to heated beds and more powerful feeders and olsson blocks on all 3 of them. But I love my babies.
The UM3 and S5 di indeed have lifting nozzles. The right nozzle goes up and down such that it is always either higher then the left or lower than the left.
If you want to print with CF or glowfill and you don't want to modify even a tiny little thing then you will have to go with S5 as that's the only UM printer out of the box that deals with CF. Modifying a UM3 for CF is pretty easy.
The UM printers are relatively well built and dependable. But I have no idea if you will love them or hate them.
