I'm same sort of situation, though I always stuck to manual machines, but it's time I upgraded from my Lelit single boiler, my budget is really only $1500 maybe, $2000 by end of year.
Now the Breville has been around a little while, I think I'll go for it, the 920 update, and I love the black version, really it was gona be that or maybe a Oscar for me, hopefully I can find one around $1200, need to ditch my Sunbeam grinder as that is getting on my nerves, I'll fork out a little more for a smart grinder, then by end of year maybe buy a higher end grinder with the smart as a backup.
If I'm honest, if I could push my budget to $2000ish right up for the machine, there is a couple of e61 machines in the low $2000 that look good (unless I'm wrong), but I won't swing that this time around, maybe in another 2-3 years for me, maybe.
