Recently got a Gaggia Classic Pro Evo, and after few trials and error, was able to pull this espresso shot!.
I finally have my foot in the world of espresso!

I know the GCP has its flaws, but I like mine a lot. Definitely get a backflush basket and some cafiza to clean it regularly. And then also look into the OPV 9 bar mod from Shades of Coffee if you want to tinker a bit. Sounds intimidating, but it's just a replacement spring for the over pressure valve. I enjoy the resulting espresso more after I made the mod.
Yes. I plan on doing the 9 Bar mod. I was hoping the EVO version would have it by default. Looks like only North America version has 9 Bar by default. There was another link shared by a user for a mod: https://gaggiuino.github.io/
I plan to do that as well, at some point.
Quite the jump from the OPV mod to gaggiuino!
