I agree with D regarding the 'one piece' systems.
Sure, they are sleek and beautiful, but as the person who is called in to work on the damned things when they break down, I can tell you that the 'one piece' design is NOT a great idea.
People never think about their shiny new toy breaking down when they buy it... but they do and the more complex they are internally, the more difficult and expensive they are to repair. Definitely invest in the 'three year warranty' if it's offered, because it's probably less expensive than just one visit in the shop.
Depending on what has to be replaced on the machine, the 'out of pocket' expense could be nearly as much as you paid for the entire system.
