Where Art & Function Meet

Which espresso maker would you buy?

Would you buy the DeLonghi Pump Driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker – EC140B or this one http://www.shopdelonghi.com/detail/DGI+EC155?
This is the link to the first one,

A Brief disclaimer: I have not used either of these machines.

The website that I trust for coffee hardware advice is coffeegeek.com. Below is the link to the DeLonghi consumer reviews section. It looks like the 140b did all right.

My personal opinion is that you should grab a La Marzocco GS/3.
Go ahead and get that second morgage!
