Espresso Machine?

I’m looking for an Espresso-Latte machine to buy my wife for Christmas. This is the first machine I’ve bought and would like some advice. Basically from what I’ve read one of the most important this is pump driven.
The DeLonghi EC155 doesn’t seem bad. It seems to carry decent reviews. http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EC155-Espresso-Maker/dp/B000F49XXG/ref=pd_sbs_k?ie=UTF8&qid=1196695533&sr=1-11
Any other ideas and assistance?
Thanks
