Previous discussion is below. Same price but did not include the extra 20 bucks. Seems like a no brainer.

Why you should consider this machine?
- Good brand
- Good entry level machine that isn't "junk" (for example this one has a 3-way valve that dries the coffee puck).
- Small in size. Great starter model.
- No built in grinder (could be + or -, allows you to choose your own grinder).
Where will it let you down?
- Might be slower to froth milk
- Tank is small, and so is the drip tray
- If you expect this to make 22g shots (like how the professional coffee houses do).

At the end of the day, this is just like any other purchase decision. Are you serious coffee drinker? Do you need to save counter space? Will you be ok with more required maintenance (water and drip tray changes).
If these trade offs work for you, then this is not a bad choice.
One other route to consider to save money is consider going on a hunt for a used pro-grade machine on FB marketplace. I am currently using a Nuova Simonelli Musica - that I purchased for about $500 almost 5 years ago. No problems so far, and it is NSF rated - so literally "professional grade". And pro-grade machines are just big trucks - they can pull their weight and make your life easier to accomplish the task at hand (I only have to refill and change drip trays about once a week). The milk frothing is super fast. And I regularly use 22g doses. And I expect it will be in useful service life for atleast 5 more years - its built like a tank (real copper, good quality pumps and hoses).
