Bambu X1C Purge and Prime (sh.itjust.works)

I'm considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there's still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who's played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing waste?

It’s going to have some filament waste regardless, but there some things you can to reduce the waste.

Have a purge object, check purge to infill setting, explore reducing the purge filament between material changes.

Most importantly print multiples if possible.. It purges the same amount whether you are printing one object, or twenty.
