A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.
The SUNLU S1 Plus suits a PLA or PETG user who wants a proven box.
The Creality Space Pi SE suits a user who wants a known temperature range and forced air.
Neither listing is built for it; see the Space Pi X4.
The SUNLU says yes, with two rollers.
