I had a modded sette 30 for like 5 years and still love that thing, ive since upgraded to a P80 but still have the sette on the bench. Its loud, but you get use to it.
I got a used Gaggia Classic with a Baratza Sette 30 which worked really well for me. Got it for about 950usd here in the Philippines. I just recently upgraded my grinder to the Varia vs6 but the Gaggia is holding up pretty well.

I moved from the 064S to a Z1 because of many things but aesthetics was part of it. I considered the Orbit and everything mentioned so far except the Eurekas.
have a sette 30 and upgraded the adjustment assembly so its basically a 270 now while being slightly cheaper, its very loud but gets the job done, it only needs 5-10 seconds for a dose but those seconds are super loud. I got a single dose hopper that makes the device much shorter, and gets rid of the big ugly plastic hopper off the top.
