Lagom 01 vs Weber EG1 - insights needed [budget 3000+]

Buying Advice Needed

Been debating for the last few months on which "end game for now" grinder to get, and I've narrowed it down to those two. Ideally I would like to replace both my grinders with one. I know there are iterations of this question that always come up from time to time so I appreciate any insight.

Currently:
- 1 to 3 espresso shots daily plus a flat white every other day
- filter coffee every other day (orea, aeropress or switch)
- I primarily drink specialty light roast (Dak, Fried Hats, Sey, Onyx, Manhattan, ONA ..typical fanboy stuff) and occasionally will dip into something a little bit darker like The Barn espresso roasts that are light medium or so
- I enjoy experimenting with flow control, compound chilling, turbos, and other ECJ favourites approved by my wife's bf
- currently using DF64 with SSP high uniformity and ODE gen 1 with SSP MP for filter brews

EG1
- this grinder will replace both grinders
- love the build quality and aesthetic
- a little slower than I would like but ok as it will do espresso and filter
- personal opinion but I am not crazy about the grinding sound (maybe its different in person?)
- a little concerned about the stalling at low rpm but seems to be mixed opinions about this
- will be going for the Core burr option
- don't mind the idea of using the shaker, but I prefer straight to portafilter
- digital rpm display
- costs more than 01

Lagom 01
- the speed is appealing, even at low rpm it grinds fast
- I like the aesthetic, but the EG1 edges it out slightly
- better grind to portafilter option
- 102 mizen blind burr would be the choice
- cheaper option
- rpm isn't as accurate based on the dial vs digital display of EG1
- I prefer the sound of this grinder personally

I would be particularly interested in hearing from those who use the Lagom for espresso and filter, open to other suggestions (DF83v was considered but I cannot unsee the train look), I would still consider the Monolith but currently out of the running because I wouldn't consider it for filter (at least that is what I gather from the videos I've watched)

Thanks in advance!
