I see some old posts regarding the Grimac La valentina but nothing recently. I found a company right in my area that sells them. They are made by this company http://www.bfcsrl.it/?lang=en. This is the company that sells them http://www.espressomachinecatalog.com/ I am wondering why I havent seen any recent posts on this company or machines. From what I can see they got stellar reviews on CG. Is it a machine I should consider?

This is the La Valentina, but for god's sake don't buy it from them! The prices are ridiculous! The website quotes the following prices: Model VV1GL- Valentina 1 Group Levetta- List Price: $2869 Model VV1GTSA- Valentina 1 Group Semi Auto- List Price: $2646 Model VV1GTE- Valentina 1 Group Electronic- List Price: $3125 On the other hand, these are the SAME machines, and are more than $1,000 less. I have a La Val in my office. It's a wonderful machine; I've no complaints. You might want to take a look at this review, Buyer's Guide to La Valentina. (Click for larger image)
