I have to say I'm not into repeatability. Simply a good, tasty brew. Maybe slightly different each time, and that's great. I want YUM. And there are many different versions of YUM! soft, sometimes chocolate, sometimes fruity, but leaves me feeling a bit drunk. Just my 3 cents. :D
I am down with variety in the cup so long as I am the one causing the variety. Life might be like a box of chocolates but I that let me decide what i am going to get.
You know those people that want to tell you how to raise your kids but have none of their own? That is how i feel when someone with a kitchen appliance tells me how the merits or dis-merits of my machine or how to use it.

I believe the differences would be marginal as long as the person behind the machine is capable and can replicate the same process (grind, dose, tamp, temp). However, chances are those same processes may be easier to achieve consistently on a better machine (grouphead).
