Good price that. It's up to you though really. The Classic is a good consumer espresso machine but from my experience with it (sold it to Mr Smyth after not a huge amount of use) it was still not really comparable to the results with a commercial machine. My main gripe is that it doesn't do milk well at all. For espresso it's not bad. I do, however, much prefer the results I get with my Aeropress and Porlex.
More Concise:
Aeropress and a good grinder = good quality home coffee
Consumer espresso machine = cheap imitation of what's available in a good café
