You’ll get an Iberital MC2 for that budget too, but a lot of people have commented that it’s difficult to adjust it from filter to espresso and vice versa
It’s really one or the other. MC2 doesn’t make the greatest filter either tbh (plenty fines).
I scored a Mazzer Super Jolly off here for under £100 which I use for espresso and a hand grinder for filter.
I think MC2 and a timore c2 hand grinder is a great combo tbh and perfectly doable for £150. That or just spend all the cash on a hand grinder.

You might get a secondhand Sage Smart Grinder Pro for that money. That will happily do both but I wouldn’t be tempted to buy any powered grinder with a RRP £100-£150 new. The Sage is really the one that will do what you’re asking. You’ll get an Iberital MC2 for that budget too, but a lot of people have commented that it’s difficult to adjust it from filter to espresso and vice versa. It’s more of a grinder to set up for good espresso (probably slightly better espresso than the Sage) and tweak.
