This may be a silly, but. Other than more electronic controls on the Dream (T and std) there is no difference that I can see in reliability between the two machines. To adjust the temp on either machine the control board has to be accessed, so the additional electronics control the other functions of the machine. Since the mechanical guts of the two machines are the same the espresso from them should be the same determinned by the barista.
And since the timer is also included in the Dream, it is really no more expensive than the Mini + timer.
You pays your money and takes yer churce
