I was always happy with mine as well. As long as it tastes good to you, nothing else should matter. The constant desire to upgrade has ruined many hobbies for me.
I’ve had one for 4 years now. It’s great. Low maintenance, produces great espresso and steams well enough. You can get a higher end grinder later on if you yearn for more but ignorance is bliss. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
I think it's a pretty good machine too. Recently I did the OPV mod to reduce the pressure from 15 bar to 9 bar, it makes things a bit easier in terms of channeling. Although my 30 second WDT still channels sometimes if the beans aren't fresh.

For anyone starting, this is the best advice you can take ;)

I love mine. Probably 5000 shots pulled since I bought it in 2019.
