You'd need the Encore ESP to grind fine enough for espresso. Also, Breville purchased Baratza grinders for their semi models like this one, so actually these work quite well despite being built in. You save money going this route rather than buying separately. I'd only consider separate if you are really picky and want to upgrade the grinder down the road.

I'll just throw this in there, these machines are fine for convenience, but I would recommend getting something like a Breville Bambino Plus and a separate grinder like the Baratza Encore as an entry point to making espresso - both can be found on sale here decently often.

I'm not sure that the built-ins are worse. The burrs are the same and because the built-ins won't be used to make anything other than espresso, the spread isn't as big of a deal since it's already dialed in for the espresso range.
