Anycubic Kobra S1 - Upgraded Nozzle or Stock?

The Anycubic Kobra S1's stock hotend offers excellent print quality for PLA but has critical safety and reliability flaws at higher temperatures due to PTFE tube degradation and a glued-in nozzle. Aftermarket hotends for the Kobra S1 are suitable for abrasive materials but demand extensive tuning and compromise print quality.
