Has anybody got experience of using soluable support material? Is it as good as it appears for figures?

We were spinning the wind on when and why to replace our printer and why. The Mk3S+ we have is doing really well so no rush. The new MK 4 would be faster but I suspect only on larger prints and as we mostly do 1/144 stuff so its all very small. Possibly less lines but we never saw that as an issue anyway, massively overblown from my experience. Multi colour printing is supposed to be more reliable but does not look usefull to us, great for some uses but coloures are not matched to Nato so no use directly for me. I have seen some markers done with the old system and with effort it did work so may be useful to some folk. The only thing that looks like it would help would be a system to print soluable supports.
