Take a look at lelit pl41 Glenda plust.
Compared to Anna it has 58mm portafilter, 300 ml boiler (vs 250) and 2 kg more weight. (more mass in grouphead = better temp stability)
It's cheaper than Elizabeth. Elizabeth has lelit's LLC and not a standard PID which is worse imo, because it does not let you see the temperature in real time (only target).
The only downside is a lack of a manometer. (Which can be installed aftermarket). The opv is adjustable though.

^this ended up being the winner.
This was all super helpful!! I was looking into the BDB a similar machines, but as someone pointed out, they are in another class as far as budget goes, and I eventually had to stop myself from getting carried away.
As mentioned by freestyler, the Glenda ended up being the better option! I had an Anna in my cart, but was already bummed about having to hunt down 57mm accessories. Then i saw a returned Glenda on 1st line for the same price as the new Anna, so I jumped on it! Very excited for this new machine. Now to find a bottomless portafilter that will work with it..
