Breville's customer service is top-notch and very helpful. The only "downside" of their customer service department is the wait time. When I called, 100% of the time, I received a recording where it's best to leave your phone number and calls are returned between 45 - 90 minutes. So, you'll have to be "ready" when they call back. They are quite helpful and very fair from there.

Bambino for $240 at BBB with coupon is the best value. The Bambino Plus for $320 is alright if you want auto milk frothing (poorer quality than manual, but you can walk around and do something else to save 40 seconds). Purchase a single wall basket (and pitcher separately for the regular Bambino), and add a smart grinder pro for $160.
The Express is older and slower - I'm not sure why it's recommended at all since the release of the Bambino Plus last year. Barista Pro is good, but I don't see the value over Bambino/Smart Grinder Pro.
I think espresso quality is exactly the same from Bambino to Barista Touch.
Just my opinions on Breville models. Spend your money however you want.

Just one month ago, there was a FP deal for $509 on this very site.
This is not a slick deal at all.
I'm only looking to brew espresso. I drink over ice so I don't care about milk frothing.

I see no indication this is refurbished?
Most important: always use fresh roasted beans and use within 10 days of the "roasted on" date. This can heavily impact the quality of your espresso shots, from the grind to the crema.
Always run a naked shot before pulling your actual espresso shot, this makes it so that the portafilter and grouphead are warmed up and cleaned.
Weigh 18g of beans on a scale and manually grind with the built-in grinder by pressing and holding your portafilter. Do not leave beans in the hopper as they can get stale.
The default tamper can be difficult and inconsistent to use for some, so I recommend getting a calibrated tamper to get a consistent tamp every time.
