The Gaggia Coffee retails for $350; I doubt it can be had for < $200.
Both this and the somewhat more expensive Baby Gaggia are quite
good machines; I don't think the cheaper/smaller ones are worth
the price.

I don't think that Gaggia makes a manual home machine, and their
commercial machines are rather more than $500; you probably mean a
La Pavoni, which is not made by Gaggia.

Except that the mechanisms are entirely different; the $200 Krups
uses a monoblock heating system (like Rotel), while all the Brauns use 
tank heating systems.

I hate to be a stickler about these things - but if I weren't,
I probably wouldn't be reading this thread anyway:-)
