You got it all right Mookio, The Iberital will give you pro quality espresso, anything cheaper will not and at less than £100 it's a bargain. Other options are Rancillio Rocky but that's quite a bit more expensive or the best bet; a used Mazzer Super Jolly for top quality grindage, bomb proof reliability and eternal spares availability.
I'll stick my neck out and say that it's worth holding out for a Mazzer because there is likely to be quite a number of coffee shops liquidating in the coming months. More Mazzers on ebay and less demand for them. All a bit schadenfreude I know but it's where my money would be.
If you can't wait then you will not be disappointed with the Iberital, it's just you will probably end up upgrading to a Mazzer anyway in a year or two.
