Cheaper alternative to Roncillio

This may have been talked about at some time but I couldn't find it.

Anywho... I am thinking about getting a espresso machine and grinder at some point but I am going to be on a budget that won't allow for a Silvia and a Rocky. What would be a decent alternative to these machines? I first need to make sure that I am going to enjoy doing this at home before I spend around a grand on good equipment. If I do end up liking it I would probably want them to last 2 or 3 years until I could afford to jump in with both feet on the pricier equipment.
