Buy recommendation Melitta E 970-101 or 970-306

Hello together,

I've been browsing for some time now various forums / pages in search of tips / recommendations for buying my first fully automatic coffee maker.
At the moment I landed at:
Melitta E 970-101 silver fully automatic coffee maker Caffeo CI
, because this convinced me during processing (compared to the Saeco HD8769/01 Moltio ).
When I was searching, I came across different models of the Melitta Caffeo CI, such as the Melitta E 970-306. One difference to the 101 is the missing milk container, I've already found out that much, but is that all? If so, I don't understand that the 306 is currently more expensive than the 101.
Can any of you tell me any further differences?
Is the 306 perhaps a newer generation, if so it would be more sensible to buy it?
Or maybe you have another purchase recommendation for me?
The device should in any case have a milk frother with it (as with the Melitta device) and not only produce the froth via a nozzle with hot steam.
The price should be in this range, around 600 €, but also somewhat lower, but it should already be a reasonable device, not a NoName device from China.

I would be very happy about tips.

I myself have the Melitta E 970-101 and am completely convinced. I bought it recently and have nothing to complain about so far. As you have already written the processing is very good. The price is also perfectly ok - currently 400€. I bought my fully automatic coffee maker here for a very good price
