if you know what you doing, the Breville 870 is a heck of machine for the price (the only reason i upgrade to a Rocket Mozzafiato is due to 870 aren't build to last after 10 years of use). for those who do espresso correctly, i don't think any automatic machine can outperform 870 or decent semi-automatic espresso machine. different beans/roast/shelf time requires different settings, and there is no way a full automatic machine can adjust to those factors automatically.
that said, i'd say most people don't know how to brew espresso and froth milk correctly, and their result will be worse than a full automatic.

As to your question, it really depends on what you are looking for, Breville 870 is a manual machine so you can extract a better coffee if you work for it but you need to tinker with it, be consistent with tamping so on. I was the only one in my family that can use 870.
On the other hand these machines are automated so after a quick setup with the grinder, they will make decent espresso and one click milk based drinks as well. For our situation, getting an automated machine was the right choice. I can still differentiate flavors between different beans and espresso is as good as what I normally got from 870. Yes, I was able to get much better coffee from 870 when I tried but I rarely have the patience for that.

Then I did tons of research and landed on Delonghi because they supposedly are the best for maintenance and reliability.
I ended up getting the Lattego deal from a couple weeks ago from Sur La Table and it's a big hit in my house but Dinamica Plus would have been my upgrade choice if available at a discount.
*I am sure the Jura makes MUCH better drinks than Lattego but we love it and aren't coffee connoisseurs*
