Astoria or Rio Junior: Opinions Anyone?

[Woofy]

I have a good friend that makes sublime espresso with her Rio Junior. I'm told that it's virtually the twin of the Astoria Junior. Does anyone here have any experience with either machine? Its build quality is waaay over-the-top, like a tank, with a massive 5 liter boiler and fully submerged HX brew group.
Thanks in advance!

On the outside they look different, but on the inside they are identical. If you want a Kicka** deal on one p-mail me as we are clearing out the showroom of old displays!
