I think the breville's will do good job with espresso shots only, but you might see a drop in 'taste' if you need to do like 2-3 shots (maybe for a small gathering/party).

you might want to learn about temperature surfing to ensure you get the most power with your steam after you pull your shot. To briefly explain it, your single boiler tank holds both steam and water. But after a shot is pulled, the steam pressure drops significantly due to the changes inside the tank. A common trick is to turn on the steam all the way until you deplete the initial steam, wait for the steam switch to engage and just as the steam switch is about to turn off, start to steam again. This way, you have 'optimal' steam pressure for frothing milk.
