Great advise.
OP
If you have a budget in mind it will help greatly. As with many things the price range can be crazy.
I wouldn't rule out a used machine (send for refurb if needed). Can get expensive machines for great prices just cause a gasket is leaking and owner replaces it.
Don't forget with a good espresso machine you WILL need a good grinder. They can run hundreds to thousands as well.
Budget is everything going into this.
