The Lelit Bianca v3 has been on the market for a few years now and remains a strong contender. This is a review comparing it to the Profitec Pro 600. Both are dual-boiler E-61 machines with PID temperature control and flow control, both cost the same, and both are popular and respected. So this brings us to a natural cross-shopping situation. I would rate them as equal, but not the same. They've got different strengths and weaknesses, as you'll see.
