It is a really fragile topic, at least for moldovans and I’d say it is mostly due to ideological reasons. A lot of moldovans do not identify themselves as romanians and this is due to 2 main reasons:

• Lots of them are not romainians, but descendants of relocated russians or other nations from USSR many of which to this date don’t speak a word in Romanian;
• USSR cultivated the idea that Moldovans are not Romaninas and that Moldova was there long before Romania (which is a stupid argument as Romania was formed after uniting multiple historical regions including Moldova);

Out of these reasons Moldova had and has a huge debate over the existence of Moldovan language, just recently the constitution was updated stating that the state official language is Romanian. Within Moldova at this point there is the Moldovan dialect which differs a lot from other Romanian dialects, even the Moldovan dialect from within Romania, where Moldovan dialect has a mixture of russian/ukranian words.

In the European market, it is priced similarly to a Lelit Bianca, which is the end game budget. The Silvia Pro X is about 400€ and the Elizabeth can be found for 900€ less, both new.

To me it seems that the pricing is just not right. And understand that I am not the target audience for this kind of machine.

For me, even the dual boiler is not worth it. A machine with a working PID (that has the offset documented and you can set it, not via vague presets) and you are set and properly equipped. Everything above are nice to have but unnecessary.
