Looks cool but for me a manual machine like a Flair is ideal. I don’t have to spend a lot of time or money and I get consistently good espresso.

The downside of all manual espresso machines is that it's difficult to achieve good and consistent head temperatures. Pre-heating takes additional time in the brewing process.

I feel like this is less of an issue than people fear. I use a Robot, and the heat retention is totally sufficient even without preheating.
