La Cimbali is becoming a powerhouse in the world of commercial espresso. Along with their Junior model (covered by its own listing), they make a wide range of commercial machines from semi automatics up to super autos.
Bottom Line: Unless I was loaded with dough, I don't think I'd buy this machine new. I would though get it second hand in a hearbeat. I would look at the Rancilio S series if I had to buy new.
