Precision. They dont get dirty as often which is a problem. Consistency of pressure and heat that you can make every cup same quality. Longevity - if machine lasts 10 years instead of 3 than its big. You can find cafes with la marzocco machines from like 60s.

In fact, the first machine I looked inside of was from the late 70's. It was certainly built to last. I think the company that made it was out of business which is why we were tinkering with it in the first place.
