Barattza sette 270wi. I use it with my profitec and it produces the best milk drinks ever.

I love my barattza sette 270wi. Absolutely a beast and very precise. Never had an issue with it, grinding every day for past 2 years. Over 3000 shots made with it so far. Thick crema and body for true authentic Italian espresso.

Profitec Go is a solid buy. You need to spend a decent amount of money on a grinder too. I've got a Baratza Sette 270wi which is great for workflow as it grinds into the portafilter and grinds to weight, but it's a bit plasticy and incredibly loud. Would probably get a Niche Zero grinder if I could turn back time.
Interesting. I think you might need a bigger basket. I have an Fiorenzato Allground Sense and a Etzinger EtzMax LM, so I understand how the Sette 270wi workflow is better (the EtzMax is like an upgraded Sette).
I have had some clumping with the Allground, but it hasn’t been major, I suspect that it depends on the types of beans we’re using.
I think the Allground isn’t that hard to dial in, but you have to sacrifice a lot of beans since you need to toss out a dose with every adjustment to account for the retention. The Sette/EtzMax don’t retain much, so they are a lot of responsive to adjustments. The Allground grinds are fluffier that the EtzMax grinds and take up more space in the basket.
I love my sette 270wi. Grind by weight is getting left behind for single dosing but the simplicity of set and forget until the bag is empty is the only way I want to play anymore. Add in a brewing controller to brew by weight and espresso becomes "push button get perfection" instead of fumbling around for a god shot. I can't wait for a DF64/84 with a grind by weight system or similar. Throw a slow feeder between and a well sealed hopper and I'd buy one that day. The 270wi is often available for ~$400 used and is worth it unless you are sure you enjoy the ritual as part of the experience. Plus Baratza will fix anything wrong with it.
The Sette 270Wi is solid if you want grind-by-weight out of the box, but the build quality complaints are real. I've seen a few people go through warranty replacements within the first year.
If you can stretch to ~$800 the Eureka Mignon Libra is worth a look. Better build, quieter, and the grind-by-weight dosing is more consistent from what I've seen. My Specialità doesn't have it but every time I weigh my dose I think about upgrading just for the convenience.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
