“But there’s no difference in it and a $400 kit of the exact same printer bought elsewhere.”

Some of this is not really accurate. Yes, you could download and build and buy all of the parts etc. provided you already have a printer and know exactly the part to get. Certainly doable but at what cost?

Where it changes a little is that the firmware is modified and constantly being improved for the printer specific. Also drivers, a version of Slic3r etc. are made specifically for the MK2. This is a big advantage over the clone kits but you do pay more. Not for everyone though.
