I have an ecm synchronika ii and a eureka libra ap. I love the setup. Buy both, land in the middle of that budget and be done forever.
I was in a similar situation coming off a Breville Barista Express I went with a Sync 2 and Eureka Libra AP. Hindsight 20/20 I would've went with Atom 75W instead purely for speed reasons. GBW workflow is amazing and makes my life super easy.
I just got my Eureka Mignon Libra 65 AP a week ago, and I love it. I make several back-to-back double shots every morning, and the weighing of beans for every shot started to get annoying. I started weighing out 4 shots of beans at once into separate containers, which helped, but I felt the retention and mess of my DF64V was ruining the experience. Dosing and cleanup with the Eureka is so much more enjoyable. I use a whole bag of beans in a week, so not too concerned about them getting stale. Sometimes I just put in a half-bag at a time, still better than before.
I have mignon Libra AP GBW. It’s pretty good. Reduces 1 step in the morning to weigh the beans
I have a mignon libra 65ap, and it typically weighs +- .1g to target. Good enough that I only spot check it just for fun. I like it, and the GBW feature is fun every time I use it.... and it fit in the space I had. Others I was looking at were too tall...
Also Libra owner and very happy! I got the 65 All purpose and it’s a decent grinder. Don’t miss anything.

I dunno, I think I'd be more comfortable with the Eureka Mignon Libra 65, which also has gbw, is a proven platform, and isn't that much more expensive and comes with 2 years warranty in the EU.
