VFA are a decent manufacturer. Don't you ever actually read the links?

<http://www.vfa-expres.com/pdf/VFA%20Pronta!%20web.pdf>

But I'll save you the effort...

Seperate steam/hot water boiler, hot water adjustable by mixing with cold water.
Seperate boiler for each group
Thermosyphon heads
Electronic temperature control for each group (0.1 degrees C)
and each group independently switchable
ready for first shot within two minutes
Easily serviceable - major panels are removeable without even taking cups off the warmer.

I wouldn't call that a "ho-hum just another spanish machine".

Same as my Spanish ho-hum lever machine (which is acknowledged to be inferior to Italian Gaggia) has produced in excess of 130,000 shots with no major component failure and no down time.
