The Dinamica Plus is my first and daily use super automatic. I'm just over 3000 cups brewed and it works well, including milk based drinks.
I've no experience with Ninja coffee makers but, for a near equal price point, I'd go with the Delonghi as it's known for good coffee machines and compared to a company that makes a little of everything. But they may be bias on my part.
I also own Delonghi's True Brew and Magnifica Start machines. They make great coffee (maybe the same internal "guts") but the milk drink integration on the Plus makes it a more comprehensive machine at the higher price point.
I think there is a pretty notable difference. I went from a Philips 5400 (same machine as the 3200/3300 just fancier features) to a using my brother in laws Delonghi Dinamica Plus pretty regularly, to the KitcheAid KF8 we have now and I would say every one of them was a noticeable jump in quality even though we drink milk drinks 90%+ of the time. The real question I think is if the KF8 is 50% better than the Philips since that is about the price difference and personally I think so, but I’d wager that most people would find it to fall in the diminishing returns category.
My wife and I purchased a Delonghi Dinamica. This machine is a game changer. Between both of us, we make 5-6 drinks a day. Great espresso and milk drinks.
We recently got it on sale for $1299CAD. I could never spend that much on a coffee machine. Not that we couldn’t afford it, but I somehow justified it with the 0% 6 month payment plan haaaa. A mind thing I guess.
Like I said above, great machine. Highly recommend!
I have a Delonghi Dynamica Plus. It took about 25 drinks before I settled on the grind size, beans I liked, and the drinks I wanted to stick with. Very satisfied with the machine speed and drink quality.
They couldn't continue to sell thousands of machines if customers didn't think they were worth it.
Short answer: Quality.
Long answer: You need to try it out yourself. I went to my local Williams Sonoma and tried out the Philips Lattego, Delonghi Dinamica plus and Jura Z10. And also the Breville impress touch semiauto.
I was pretty sure I would get the Delonghi. But after we tried the Jura, it really was no match. The Breville Semiauto and Jura Z10 were the same quality, others just tasted vastly inferior.
So I’d recommend calling a local williams Sonoma, asking if they do demos and if they have the 3-4 machines you’re interested in trying and try them out.

Fast heat-up, easy for beginners; inconsistent shots, annoying cleaning.
