And the porta filter is much better quality compared to regular Bambino.,-- this definitely makes difference in shot that's being pulled

We ll see what the boss says about the difference
But the quality of life features such as back off pressure valve? Sir how dare you suggest we settle

It heats up in seconds (as opposed to 5+ minutes with other machines), and the automatic frother works great.
For anyone getting into espresso, I highly recommend getting a separate bottomless portafilter and a precision (IMS) basket (18g).
You should also weigh your beans for consistency.
Another important factor is ground bean consistency. You could definitely get by with using a cheap grinder, but you'll get inconsistent outputs. If you're on a budget, either get a hand grinder or a DF64, or similar for around $200. It will make a very big difference.
One last thing to add, to top the deal off, Breville also owns the site Beanz, which also has free coffee/CB promotions (including now).

Edit:
Also forgot to mention that you should definitely get a new tamper as well. Preferably a self-leveling one (like a Normcore v4)
IMPORTANT: Anyone who buys this machine will need an espresso grinder, such as the DF54 or DF64. You cannot use pre-ground coffee, even ground for espresso. What you really want is coffee which was roasted within 5-21 days, and you weight out and grind each shot. I do that every morning and my wife and I love our cappuccinos every morning.
