You will find that the Giotto PID is a huge leap forward.
I find that the Giotto V3 was a significant improvement on the '05 Premuim.
At that level most brands use common parts. I have easily been able to source parts and service for the 05 Premium as they are so popular. The same will apply with the V3. Some feel that the hidden PID display is a disadvantage but once set it is rarely used if at all. Lots of nice steam and the simplicity of being an HX is in its favour.
I suggest you buy from a sponsor who will set up what you end up buying corrected and check it out for you.
Do you have a good grinder!
Just my thoughts.

Here is the deal - Currently using a 2002 model Giotto and it has been a great machine for us for over 8 years. However its getting on and I was thinking of upgrading.

We came into basically $3000 for the sale of something that cost me nothing - so I am keen to buy a brand new Giotto with PID.

Thoughts ? ?

Would this be a sensible upgrade ? pretty sure I can get $1000 for my giotto.
