KTM, how much are they worth ?

Nick, whats your Breville one worth ?

might be worth looking into buying one. they both look very flash, and you have got the picture in the froth good already !  ^^^ (see if u can make a pinball machine in the froth, that will be ya next challenge.lol

Most important thing is a good quality grinder, Breville has recently brought out a fantastic entry level model called a smart grinder I got mine for about $215 it comes with a 2 year warranty.
The machine was about 3 months old and cost me $660 with the PID controller already installed, the PID controls the temp at the top of the boiler so you get the perfect temp at the brew head when you pull a shot.
Breville have just released a dual boiler unit (pull espresso shot and steam milk simultaniously) which is getting great reviews it is easier to use but costs a few more bucks (~$1500).
Silvia are widely regarded worldwide as the best entry level espresso machine available, comercial quality parts in a domestic machine, can pull amazing shots but are quite finicky to use without a PID controller
