There is nothing else on the market at this price that will provide you with this many features to make a really good espresso.
I've had mine since 2022. I also have a Bambino for the office.
Bambino has no gauge and no PID for temp adjustment
Temp adjustment helps with extraction for medium to light roast coffee. ( Needs higher temp)
Having a gauge you can adjust the over pressure valve to reduce max pump pressure delivering a cleaner espresso. If you do the dimmer switch hack you can also use the gauge to play with variable pressure profiles.
Startup to heat time is a wash as both are relatively fast differing by less than a minute.
The group head on the infuser is heated which reduces cooling effect if you lock your portafilter in place while warming up. This is another variable that leads to more consistent espresso.
Infuser pre infusion is also more adjustable than the Bambino. Bambino is Max 10 seconds, while with the infuser you can go as long as you want in manual mode.
The last reason to get the infuser is it's overall size and weight. It still has a relatively small footprint, but when inserting the portafilter, having the extra size and weight is better. On the Bambino you gotta hold the top of the machine to snug the filter or else you'll lift the entire thing.
If you're thinking about getting into the rabbit hole of espresso coffee, this is a no brainer deal.

If that is true, this will be a very sweet deal.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I also got the 3-yr protection for $40, so that I can play something crazy with a good sleep.

Advantage of Bambino is smaller footprint, the steaming is said to be negligibly better due to faster heat up time, but in practice I like the steaming on the infuser better.. I can not tell you why.
As for Bambino vs Bambino Plus.. if you have money for the Plus get it, superior in every way.
Even in manual steaming mode, the Plus's 4-hole head works leaps and bounds better than the Bambino or Infusers 1 hole.
They carry a few of my favorites and if you're going to order beans why not get a few $$ back.

SK40 is conical burr which lends to a more viscous and robust espresso flavor
DF54 is flat burr and provides more clarity in exchange for less body.
Both under $225
