I do indeed!
I've used a spring lever machine before, which is pretty straightforward relative to a direct pull lever machine. (A Fracino FCL1, which was the most consistent machine I've ever used).
Pontevecchio also seem to have a decent one which is sprung, but the purist in me yearns for a direct pull machine.
Temperature control with the Pavoni Pro does seem to be an issue with consecutive shots, with several folks recommending turning off the machine and putting a damp tea towel around to group to cool it.
Part of the charm, I guess...?
Thanks for the input! Much appreciated!
