So recently I acquired a Longer Orange 10, I wanted to compare it to the Anycubic Photon I've owned for a while now. Since the Photon S has been released, the original Photon price has been around the 250$ or less. The Orange 10 price is 209$ on amazon right now. So with similar price I figure the two would be comparable. In the picture are two figures I printed, the one with the white base was done with the Photon, the one with the supports is the Orange 10. Sorry my camera sucks. Both was printed with Anycubic Grey resin at 50 micron layers. Here is the link to the model I used, it has a ton of detail that neither print was able to capture all of at this scale.
So to start both printers are good printers, but the devil is in the details. With resin printers that's what we are paying for. The thing I liked most about the Orange 10 is the software. The Longer slicer is much more polished, it's not buggy in the least. It's easy to use and offers more setting to work with. It slices files nearly instantaneous and doesn't lag with a lot of high detail models loaded. Also has a fixer built in. Both printers are compatible with Chitubox, so this maybe a mute point.
Another thing I really liked about the Orange 10 was the bed. Particularly the bed leveling system, it easier to use and more robust vs the Photon. Though the Orange does have a smaller build volume.
Some things I don't like about the Orange, the enclosure. It's 5 pieces of acrylic literally held together with rubber bands. It doesn't fit tight or secure. Compared to the Photon's metal frame and horizontal door, the orange is just cheap. A point in favor of the orange, it doesn't have a fan inside of the enclosure. So resin odors isn't nearly as strong.
So the main advantage to the Photon is the resolution, the Photon has a 2560x1440 screen vs the Orange 10 854x480. So that's a pretty big difference in pixels, but in practice, its not as significant. It does affect things though at 28mm scale. It's faint but the lower resolution creates layer lines perpendicular to build plate.
So my preference would be the Photon, it maybe more difficult to use. But when it works, it just does the job better.
