We have a Saeco Royal Professional Fully Auto that we hardly use. After we set the grind and the time for extractions etc. the coffee that came from it wasnt too bad either, however also having a pro unit as well the coffee that the pro produces is far better, but for ease of use etc I would look at a semi-pro or fully professional unit over a fully auto, why?....... Less to go wrong with it and if something does its possibly going to be easier to fix.. the autoos would require a strip down just to get to the part that isnt working.
We just find that the time making 4 coffees can be done very quickly with a twin group compared to the fully auto. But I must admit to sometimes missing using the Saeco. If I were to do it all again I would get a Sylvia or other manual unit of good quality and thus attempting to ensure a long life out of it.
thats my 5c at least
