Seeking advice on an endgame dual boiler [$4500]

Seeking advice on endgame machine

I have had BDB for the better part of 4 years and I am looking to move on the shower head kept on flaking off and I couldn’t be bothered anymore.

Requirements:

  1. fast heat up. (My wife likes the heat up time of a BDB). So you can be spontaneous.
  2. Ease of use.

We drink 2-4 cappuccinos or cortados a day and occasionally we’ve got friends over for drinks.

Been looking at

  1. Linea micra. Has a good steam, fast heat up. No fuss but very little play. No a fan of everything being app controlled.
  2. Synchronika ii. Decent heat up. Not as fast as BDB. Ease of use. Consistent with E61 limitations in mind. I like pre infusion capabilities.
  3. Profitec move: BDB ish with less capabilities but better quality and lower warm up.
  4. Profitec drive: same as synchronika II with a bit slower warm up.
  5. Decent de1pro: don’t like the vib noise, might be too much for my wife, but man the possibilities.
  6. Nurri r type
  7. Rocket r58 tunelc.

Any recommendation or real life experiences in terms of warm up time for both boilers?
Need help deciding.

Much appreciated
