Differences between Ww core 80mm and Ssp 83mm HU in espresso

This is wrong. 80mm HU is Weber Ultra. 80mm HU is the most unimodal burr available whereas 83mm HU is a bimodal burr

When distilled water is a good thing...

I've seen that video but have found my water to make a huge difference in taste. I've tested a lot of different water filters and there's a clear taste difference for me.

Highest Clarity 98mm Burr?

I see you already own an EG-1. The Ultra burrs are just as good as the 98mm brew burrs. Here's a comparison between the 64mm MP and the Ultra "SSP MP versus SSP Brew versus 80mm Ultra"

Brew pressure only reaches 5 bar

Keep in mind that the max pressure can only be reached if the coffee gives enough resistance. Yours is set to say 12 bar and will give X ml/s of water from the pump. If that maximum amount of water gets no resistance there will also be no pressure (so without coffee) on one end and you get the 12
