If you need counter space, id prefer the Bambino plus. Otherwise, I prefer this machine. They are very very similar. This one takes longer to froth milk, but it does allow you to practice the skill, where as the Bambino does it for you. Also, this one has a larger water drip tray.

Should I get this or the Barista pro (that has grinder?)
FYI...my grinder is a Ceado e6p v2 with a 64mm burr.
While technically the Barista Pro and Barista Touch have an upgraded grinder (same as the Baratza ESP), the rest of the machine is the same as the Diffuser and the price point is higher. It also means you're stuck with the grinder in the machine if you ever buy an upgraded grinder.
Only consideration is that it doesn't auto-froth milk which the Bambino Plus does for the same price point. But the Plus isn't as good of a machine as this otherwise.
Personally, I'd go for this since the Barista Pro is $200 more. Then choose from one of the $200 grinders I listed above.
Oh and the only complaint I can make with this machine is it's a bit of a water hog if you use the frother due to how it purges the boiler but that's a minor issue.

You can rebuild it and get parts for it. Replaced the pump and solenoid valves in the past year as the first major maintenance, probably $70 and an hour or two of my time.
I guess all cars with manual transmission are not good machines too.
