WMF 1000, 1000 pro or 800

Dear users of fully automatic coffee machines,

I am planning to buy a fully automatic coffee machine, but I cannot decide which one to take. I like the WMF 800 (possibly in black), which would be enough for us two, especially since only my husband is a coffee drinker. So why should I take the big WMF machine, what are the advantages and disadvantages? And why should I take the small WMF, which is more expensive than many other brands? Can you help me? That would be great!

It's a pity, I would have been interested in that too.... cauterizing

Advantages compared to cheaper models:
1000pro: Steam cup warmer, double macchiato function, automatic milk/milk foam changeover
1000: Large tanks, no error-prone touch display
800: Automatic milk hose cleaning, cup filling quantity change with automatic grinding quantity adjustment, finely adjustable grinding mechanism, extremely robust design of hose connectors, valves, motors, boilers and the brewing group.

I would therefore also suggest the 800 for pure coffee needs, the surcharges for the 1000 models are disproportionate.
The real advantages are the valve, grinder and brewing group construction.
On the other hand, Jura, Saeco, Delonghi in comparison are pure surprise egg technology.
WMF and Quick Mill are, for example, the only fully automatic household appliances whose brewing groups do not require grease to function.
The Jura blocks mechanically, the Saeco breaks its gear and the Delonghi blocks the waterway or throws coffee powder around itself when it lacks fat.

If espresso is of (real) interest only Quick Mill comes into question. Less electronics, less comfort, but a heated (permanently installed) metal brewing group and a massive dust-fine grinding mill are the differences.
The QM5000 is even cheaper than WMF or well equipped Jura models, just a little less well known and not available in supermarkets.
