You can get one for lots less $$. You won't get a second boiler (steam and brew seperately) and you won't get full metal construction but they still make much better coffee than the chain stores.
An example would be the Gaggia Synchrony. We're nearing a thousand cups and still going strong. Cost? About $700.
I'm starting to think about roasting my own beans next... "Green" beans are much less expensive than roasted, so it would pay for itself!! At least that's how I'm justifying it...
