The point where everything has to come together for me is a setup for Cappuccinos where I can make 4 in a row without much hassle and great quality.

You would need a dual boiler for this. IMO the best value dual boiler on the market is the Breville dual boiler.

Alternatively there are standalone milk frothing devices that might suit your needs while allowing you to buy a cheaper espresso machine.

A single boiler/dual circuit design also works well for cappucinos. They are cheaper than dual boilers and heat up quicker.

The tradeoff is less consistent temperature from shot to shot, but if you are diluting your coffee with milk anyway...

Hx machines are also fine.
