Yeah fair point well made. 9/10 I’d have made that same decision already - all my bikes are 2nd hand for example.
Was more wondering about any empirical arguments of one machine over the other or any overall reasons to buy a machine new over a used one. Warranty is the main one but they’re so repairable and parts are so readily available it doesn’t seem like such an issue which is unusual for a modern item. Gaggia UK will even do a full service for £85... if I did that I’d still be spending half what the new machine would cost.

Nope, no idea what the new ones are like but I can't imagine they've suddenly become bean-brining barista boner beckoners. It's more a case of me preferring to buy used stuff for much less money than new stuff. Do you really want to stick £200 into the pocket of a company when you could use that to nab a good grinder or buy fuckloads of coffee or.. you get the idea.
