And thanks to Trump and his tariff, my current machine has nearly doubled in price vs. when I bought it (20k new vs. 10.5k when I bought it). So, decided to pull the trigger by selling my Slayer and go for the end-game lever machine instead of messing around with others.

Going from a Flair to this is a huge jump. You'll either really love it or hate it, but you've made your mind up on it already.
I have a Cafelat Robot that got me started, then I went to a Ponte Vecchio, which pulls lovely shots, and finally an Olympia Cremina. The workflow is similar to that of a Flair, except the difference will be a reduction in having to heat up the water and all that crap. Outside of that, you might gain a bit in temperature stability, but I feel that anything else is diminishing returns.
Nice machine, nice flex, and overkill for all intents and purposes. Neat machine and purchase regardless. Looking forward to your review once you get it.
