Buying a Prusa, Kit, or Assembled?

I've had my Monoprice Maker Select Plus for about 5 years now and despite my best efforts, it is becoming less and less reliable. For my next printer, I've decided on getting a Prusa i3 MK3. I want to get the kit as it is significantly cheaper, but it's hard to tell what I'm getting myself into if I buy one.

I've disassembled my current printer and reassembled it so i'm somewhat familiar with their construction. I'm just apprehensive about getting the kit, and finding myself in a bit over my capabilities. Can any of you give some advice, pros/cons, or things to expect and watch out for?

I've done some reading and watched a couple vids, but because this is such a big purchase i'm just trying to be as informed as possible before i finally pull the trigger. Thanks!
