dont sigh joel, i too waited a while and then imported a 1976 cremina from swiss...paid the ransom but its in prestine condition.. a classy machine and fun to use.
Dont give up hope on the Cremina there was at least 2 on evilbay last year. Personally I would buy a 2 group Lusso new from Sorrentina for not a lot more than a second hand Cremina.
the Cremina is great no doubt. But for that money- get a Strega... I doubt very much the Cremina can compare to the Strega.
as for the lusso being a hyundai compared to a rolls- well that may be true- but the Hyundai can beat the carp out of the rolls in some races: dual groups, thermosyphon group temperature stability.... hot water outlet- and larger boiler + half the price = not too shabby.

Sorry - to clarify I meant the single. And you are correct of course re pricing. Although I suspect a new Lusso two group is still cheaper even than a good second hand Cremina.
I would be far from unhappy owning a Hyundai Lusso.
