Looking for espresso machine recommendations [$3000]

Buying Advice Needed

Currently have Eureka oro mignon single dose and the breville infuser. Looking to upgrade my machine soon.

90% I just make espresso. Maybe 4 or 5 on weekends.

When im hosting sometimes I'll make 4-6 in a row. Or 2 or 3 lattes.

My budget is probably around 3000$ canadian.

When I ask Ai it usually recomends the lelit mara x.

Mara x seems to have an issue where after make more than 2 consecutive espresso the heat gets really high 100+ degrees. Which would only be an issue every once in a while.

Any better recommendations? 3000 candian?

Single boiler vs hx vs dual?
