The OP already secured a Niche Zero, so what he now needs is a good machine to pair it with.

Today i saw on amazon.de sage dual boiler for 879€ offered by amazon. It was only 2 units left so it probably sold out. 880€ is a quite nice price. Other place i saw 900€ is maxicoffee. But it's rebranded in france so i am not sure which version they carry. I would request photos from inside the machine and ask support here to make sure it is one of the recent revisions.

I think we've gone about as far as we can go with this. I agree, the OP needs to do his homework and, should he want, come back with a few machines that are within his new budget.

2. ECM Classica https://www.moema-espresso.com/ecm-clas ... gLK0PD_BwE

3. Rocket Appartamento https://www.coffeecircle.at/de/p/rocket ... gLXzfD_BwE

4. ACS Minima Dualboiler https://www.stoll-espresso.de/espressom ... dualboiler

5. Vibiemme Domobar Inox https://www.stoll-espresso.de/espressom ... r-inox-930

6. Sage 920

I would be grateful for your opinion or any other suggestions.

Thanks

from this list i would go with ACS Minima hands down.

PID, dual-boiler, good sized boilers, known and respectable manufacturer.

the others a HX, and i wouldnt go that route, especially the price diff being minimal.

Sage, well.. it's a Sage...

Sage seems a bit toy:ish, but I do not reject hx at all, Simonelli Oscar II sure makes good coffee.
At elektros.it not a bad price either.
