Sizewise, the Lisa Junior is only slightly larger than the CKX, and it's mainly trim. Looking at the dimensions before buying will give you an idea on where it will fit into your kitchen, if possible. We have a CKX at home, and it sits on one side of our sink. I have it on 'stilts' of jar lids to keep the feet from getting wet, as well as levelling the machine. There's about 30cm of workspace (mainly for frothing, and a filter jug), then we have our Mazzer Mini. Directly adjacent to that is the tamping centre (towel, tamper, brushes, etc.). Next to that is the microwave and toaster. We have a free-wheeling dishwasher, which doubles as a mobile workspace. Half of the kitchen benchspace is taken up by coffee equipment. That's something we expected when we made our purchases. Hastiness might have gotten the better of you, and now you're paying the price. I don't think taking a loss on the machine is really worth it. Since the size is an issue, the best thing may be to make it the 'centrepiece' of the kitchen. If it's impossible to work around the issue, then it will be a hard loss to take indeed. Exhaust every avenue of recourse, before ultimately ditching it. It's a fine piece of equipment, no need to just get rid of it because it's a bit too big.
