Between those two, I'd go for the Breville.  The next step up
would be something like a CC1, I'd think, of if you're really
in the mood jump to a Decent.

At home, I've got a Rocket Mozzafiato Evoluzione R, which I
really like: the integrated PID controller is really nice.
Before that I rocked an Isomac Venus for about 10 years, but
it's beyond repair. :-(

Have you considered trying to repair your current machine?  It
may be a simple component swap, or just clearing some corrosion.
