My decade-old Saeco Rio Vapore looks as if it may be about to give up the ghost. Began looking around for a semi auto replacement and see good reviews on Gaggia Classic and Rancilio Silvia. Any thoughts/experiences? Or maybe a third option in the $500 range I have not considered?

I know the Rancilio has a brass boiler and the Gaggia does not (point for Rancilio). I also know that the Rancilio is not pod-capable, but I grind my own (no points awarded).

TIA
