Since you're comfortable modding machines, the Gaggia Classic would be the move in that sub 1k range. There are lots of mods available for the classic such as shorter drip tray, etc. Check out Gagguino if you're comfortable with tinkering. Parts and all work out to be about $80-100 and can let you play with pressure profiling as well as add a PID.
Would consider upgrading grinder if you have the budget to.
Shamless plug, have a Eureka Specialita for sale if interested.
