I don't think you would regret the Linea mini. Not one bit
I think I did know at one time that you were an espresso fanatic. I don't know how you've gone six months without a machine.

I've had my Alex Duetto II for more than 5 years (make 3 shots per day). Never had it serviced. Works perfectly. Cannot imagine for the amount of use it gets that it will need much servicing.
Also, since I have had both my Versalab and Duetto now for that much time, I am sooooo dialed in with both of them. Can go from one companies beans to the next with just a couple of experimental shots. Sometimes not even that.
I use Klatch, Redbird, Metropolis and Counter Culture beans. Oh, and there is a local place or 2 that I might buy from if I am in the area.
