Which should you buy?
Both are 58mm single-boiler classics. The Rancilio Silvia has heavier, commercial-grade build (brass boiler) at a higher price; the Gaggia Classic Pro is cheaper and the more mod-friendly gateway. Pick the Silvia for build quality and longevity, the Gaggia for value and tinkering.
