Sage smart grinder pro is a very capable grinder for espresso. I’ve been very pleased with mine. I considered the MC2 when I was choosing grinders as it was traditionally the go-to home grinder for espresso, but you should remember it’s quite an old-fashioned design now and suffers from being a bit messy and switching between grinds can be a bit hit and miss. The Sage smart grinder pro has addressed all those issues. Works really well with machines like the Gaggia Classic.
It’ll be absolutely fine with the La Pavoni but you’ll maybe get more out of it with one of the Niche grinders.
Useful response thanks.
Throwing a curveball in there… I have the potential of getting a la pavoni classic, free, it’s pretty old but it’s never been used much and from what I can tell a full new set of gaskets and a descale and it’s unlikely to be too much different from a new one.
Grinder I was thinking something like this…

Then as it’s the big 40 next year perhaps slash a bit more on something like a rocket apartmentto…
Or for £300 there is this option..
