When I said no one paid attention to that machine anymore, he pointed out (rightly) that that was the HB (i.e. snob's) viewpoint. The Silvia is still frequently discussed on CoffeeGeek, and the Rancilio rep told us they still sell 20,000 units a year. Sorry to go off topic.
I've found HB a bit more objective and reasonable between the two. Both seem to struggle with objectivity and an abundance of platitudes, but that seems ingrained into this end of the coffee user spectrum.
