That's fair enough and understandable.
Yep, the Neo is not a bad shout at all. Workflow is a bit finicky compared to the Robot due to needing to pre-heat (the Robot does not require pre-heating at all IMO). I am unsure of your grinder setup, but the pressurised basket may actually be of benefit to you if you don't have a really decent grinder? If you do have a good grinder, the non-pressurised basket should be on your list.
Totally forgot about the Neo actually. If your wife is open to manual espresso then that seems like a great shout on a budget and absolutely is what I'd pick over the ROK.

Since our last one broke my good lady won’t hear of a second hand machine (I know). But also won’t consider the robot. It would be seen as too much of a faff.
If I win the lottery I’ll get a robot. The flair neo seems reasonable??
