The Euro is new to me; but I'd always massively prefer an HX to a single boiler whenever cappas are the main item on the menu. It's not just a question of waiting 45 seconds for a single boiler to switch over, it's a question of the milk getting stiff or the espresso going flat while you wait. You cannot make as good a cappa from a single boiler machine, no matter how brilliantly it makes shots, as you can from even a basic HX.
Moreover, the specifications show a 1.5 liter boiler and what looks like the well respected and widely used CMA thermosyphon group.
Price point is also excellent for an entry level HX.
