My first higher end unit and the coffee is fantastic to me! I know there are better ones out there, but I won't even drink a Starbucks latte now because the taste from this is better to me.
Coffee machines break. You've been warned.
The 2200 has fewer buttons for 'combos' but otherwise the way the milk and coffee are made is the same. If you just want basic coffee or cappacino (coffee with frothed milk), the 2200 is just as good, literally the same.
If you want the extra, other drinks, then the 4300 is useful. It also has a prettier GUI/icon interface. Generally speaking, you're buying "options" for the extra $350, not better core coffee/cappacino.
The LatteGo system takes 10 seconds to clean. It's a huge upgrade from all the previous milk frothing systems I've used.
In news to nobody, the frothed milk never looks as good in real life (yes, full fat milk) as it does in the photos.

The custom options aren't very deep, but it's dead simple to use.

I have the 3200 that doesn't have the milk lette-go but has the wand, it works great! I steam my milk and then click the espresso button & done.
-cleaning, I wipe / rinse my steamer wand after use.
-every 2wks, the side grind / cup mechanism slides out the side & you rinse it & let sit dry.
-the bottom where the water dirty water drains, it'll tell you when to drain, you can put in dishwasher.
-FYI, clean hot water is ran through the coffee tubes.. to clean it & then when you turn it off same thing. Overall this is an awesome machine.
-Don't use use oily beans. It can take 10 grinds... to dial in your machine. Most use Medium beans.
Just my usual PSA...if you have heart issues avoid unfiltered coffee
If you buy this, know that your first 25-50 pucks made are going to be very runny, until the seals inside the brew group start to set. Just keep making coffee, it'll get better.
This is definitely a game changer for the coffee game. Beans aroma feature smells amazing while brewing. Definitely no more Starbucks or Dunkin' 3x costlier visits.
Machine pays itself within 3 to 6 months for on average $4 to $5 latte from barista for two.

I ended up pulling the trigger on the 3200 lattego about a month ago (during black friday special, got it for $549).
I'm still in the "break-in period" and can't yet fully speak to the quality of coffee as I do personally think it's a bit weak -- but I'll wait it out and adjust strength settings after a few months.
That being said, there are a couple flaws with this machine design that I've already noticed and will spell out in this post to caution future consumers;
(1) The water reservoir is very small, made even smaller with the addition of the filter, and it alerts you to fill it when you're at about the half way mark; it won't make anything until you refill it. It honestly lasts less than 10 cups before you need to refill it; clearly a design flaw -- it should be much larger and accommodate more cups before needing to refill.
(2) The bean reservoir is poorly designed, extremally shallow, and the beans don't appear to properly make their way to the grinder. You need to either keep the beans reservoir full or you'll need to open it up and push the remaining beans towards the grinder periodically when it gets shallow; another design a flaw.
(3) You need to empty the "drip tray" way too often. It's nice that the machine "self cleans" every time you turn it on as well as when you turn it off, but this causes the waste water to pool in the "dip tray" which then requires you to empty it fairly frequently (within 3 or 4 uses). Not sure if I'd say this is a design flaw per se, but it certainly a nuisance and makes the machine certainly not "effortless."
The last side note I'll make is which could be a flaw is that that it seems to be going through my beans very fast.
I've already gone through 1.5lbs in only a couple weeks, and that amount would would normally last me a couple months using my french press or traditional drip machine. Compounded with the fact that the coffee coming out of the machine doesn't taste that strong to me, it makes me question the efficiency of bean use -- it makes me think that perhaps the machine doesn't allow the water to soak into the grinded beans long enough before dispensing -- I'd be curious what others think about this theory.
On the upside, the machine look nice and even with all it's flaws it is significantly more convenient than having to grind the beans myself, pour the grinded beans into the coffee filter in my machine, pour water into my coffee machine, wait for it to brew, and then clean the pot and filter every day.
