Solis Maestro plus and prosumer machine ok together?

[ron45]

I like the features of the maestro plus. But WLL sales people are pushing the gaggia mdf. Is any one getting consistant good shots with the maestro plus grinder and a good HX machine ?? [700.00 and up?] What else is available [ besides the Gaggia MDF ] in the 200 plus range? I don't like dosers. Grinding straight thru the burrs in to the hopper is a very cool thing to my way of thinking.
