Yeah, I added to the waitlist for a few flat burr machines and we'd see which one becomes available first. From what I could gather, they are all quite amazing (as one'd expect), but availability is fucked up for anything except EK43s. But it's just ugly imo.
I ended up going with the Slayer because the shot I tried was so good. It paves a new way to experiment with roast or anything that I found difficult to extract before. This really made me feel actually "upgrading" as it opens up possibilities of trying new beans/roasts I used to avoid because they were relatively harder to get it right and tasty with R58.
Yes, there are ways... but just the same reason I upgraded from 870XL to R58. I wanted to get some guesswork out of my coffee-making process. And I just didn't quite find that on a GS3 while trying at the Slayer/GS3 simultaneously. Don't get me wrong. GS3 still makes a terrific coffee. However, just like bcrdukes said, I'd most likely have buyer remorse by going that route. And considering the guy who owns the Slayer just "upgraded" from GS3 to that, I think since the budget allows this time, I'd skip that step.
Just waiting for the plumber to come and hook everything up as they should and I will unpack this badboy.
