Hi all, first post so be gentle. 
Looking for a new HX machine. Have narrowed it down to two models and after trawling this site (which has been a great resource) and the internet in general I can’t find any obvious issues with either.
I am somewhat limited by bench space (600mm) so want a more compact unit, I mainly drink Flat whites in the morning with the odd expresso thrown in if I’m in the mood. Have regular dinner parties/bbq so can need to make up to 6-8 at a time. (mainly cappuccino/latte)
I am looking at the Rocket Appartamento or the Bezzera Magica.
I am close to Di Bartoli (Rosebery) and Coffee Parts at (Pagewood) – both have the Rocket (Coffee Parts is a little better priced). Only Di Bartoli has the Magica. (seems to be an exclusive product for them?). Have no idea who are the best to deal with prices/service/sales experience/after sales etc, etc. Which is important to me.
So anyone know of any potential deal breakers in either machine that could sway me in the other direction.
Budget is $2500 for the machine.
