Just found this website:
https://www.espressocoffeeshop.com/E...non-Specialita
so it's $480 shipped for the chrome model, which is ~$700 Stateside
their dual-boiler R58 is $2300 shipped. Only issue is that i won't have someone nearby to provide warranty support.

also, poured perhaps my first "semi-decent" latte art to date. going to a larger cup size (9.4 oz) helped more than anything else (old cup was barely 7 oz)
