Fix, would you mind elaborating on why you wouldnt consider the Breville over the VV? I must say that the layout on the Breville suits me more...I prefer the steam wand and steam control button on the right hand side, whereas the VV has then positioned on the left-although Im sure Id get use to it.
some machine layouts suit different individuals
the vv is fully servicable
we are doing full seal replacements in these after 5 + years
the breville has limited parts available
if the thermoblock leaks, throw the machine in the bin
if the vv boiler seal leaks, replace the seal
150mm brass / Ssteel boiler gives me more steaming control, and better heat stability
it doesnt matter what others think or feel
it is in your kitchen and the breville might suit you
