I'd advise against getting an espresso-capable grinder for future-proofing purposes, you'll be spending a fair chunk more and you may end up just getting a good espresso grinder than can do okay filter grind. I love my Sette but wouldn't be surprised if a decent filter-focussed grinder could do a better job on the filter side of things.
Though to be fair, the Niche does seem to do a pretty decent job of both. But it's also around 4 times the price of a Svart.
Also as you'll probably see mentioned a lot, the MC2 is a pain moving across large ranges of coarseness, hence it not being commonly used for both espresso and filter purposes.

Any reason why you’d have one grinder for filter and another for espresso?
What’s the MC2 like? Trying to find a Wilfa Svart but it’s proving a PITC to find one. So looking at these now. Don’t actually need espresso grind but what they hey, will probably get an espresso machine at some point.
Should I be looking at anything else around this £££?
