Just a quick Chiron update, and I will try to make this just an update and not negative
:)
All initial reports and reviews of the Chiron were very positive. It has included features that other similar printers (The Creality) only have as user upgrade options. Things like beefier frame, dual z-axis motors, and a 25 point bed leveling process... something

was amazed about. It truly seems like the printer that would be setting the standard for all other printers in the same class.
People have been waiting for the release of the Chiron, myself included. Many here have been excited about it as well. It seems Anycubic may be a victim of their own success though. It appears sales have far exceeded anything they anticipated, and right now they can't keep up with shipping dates. Eventually this should settle down and things should become normal, but I say expect some lengthy delays.
A concern I have is quality. I hope they don't start slamming printers together to get units shipped and then have bad units going out. This seemed to have happened with the Photon (again not trying to be negative, rather just stating things). The Photon got great reviews and customers were raving, myself included. Then reports started coming in of Photon's that were basically DOA. It seems the rise in bad units was directly relate-able to the spike in Photon sales. It appears better units are shipping now though.
So as far as the Chiron... it might be better to wait a bit and let inventory build up as well as get some initial reviews of these first units shipped. I sincerely hope all goes well, and this is just growing pains, but there is undeniably a backlog right now, so just keep that in mind.
