What I'm doing now is a lot bigger and I don't need the detail.

The downside to resin printing is that you need an area that is well ventilated. You probably don't really want to just have it in a random room. You also need more space than a filament printer as you'd need a cleaning station and isopropyl alcohol baths to dissolve uncured resin.
For me, this is the biggest hang up I have so far. The printer/venting, whatever. But the cleaning station stuff, etc. is a another few hundred bucks. Dumping any chemical liquids involved is something that I also haven't finished figuring out and researching yet.
