Assuming that they are both in good shape, I would pick the Bezzera PLUS a good grinder.

I don't know about P.R. and shipping, but www.1st-line.com sells Bezzera machines and parts. You might want to inquire with them about shipping to you when necessary. If it's not too expensive, the Bezzera machine and a free standing grinder will certainly be the better choice of those two options.
