Yeah I think most of us won't have experience with it simply due to the price point. Whomever gifted that to you thinks very highly of you, for sure. It's a very nice printer but it does have an ecosystem that is mostly proprietary, so when you run out of resin they'll want you to buy their cartridges and will discourage you from buying the cheap stuff us schlubs use every day. So, it's kind of like a Mercedes and we're all driving Chevy.
Use their slicer to begin with. I think it's called PreForm? Since you're new to resin you're going to want the easy route first. You'll find out what you don't like from the slicer and search for answers down the road, ultimately deciding you may use another slicer that has features PreForm does not. But that's all after you start to figure out what's what.
If you love resin 3D printing like I do, and want more build area and faster print times - supplement your FormLabs with one of the printers that we're using and do your comparison. You may find that these cheaper printers have more bang for your buck and buy a few more! And, new features and advances keep coming every year. It really is amazing how far the inexpensive printers have come in such a short time, similar to the FDM printers from 2012 vs 2018+.
Lastly, since the process the Form 2 uses is different than the MSLA printers, we may not be able to help in some or most cases. Like, I probably wouldn't know the first thing in trying to help troubleshoot a Form 2 print fail or a slicing problem. There is some common ground but not a whole lot. One thing we all enjoy though are sweet looking train prints from hi-res printers!!
