Qantas are having 30% off Breville items if using points. Is the Bambino Plus a good deal at 74,490pts delivered?

I know flight upgrades are the BEST value for points, but how does this stack against the usual items? Using the gift cards as a point of reference on the Qantas FF store, this works out to be $373 (using David Jones as a reference, who had the Bambino Plus on sale recently for $499).

Thanks!

  This many points could almost get you a business class flight worth $3k or $4k - eg Japan one way business is about 90k points and costs from approx $6k to $8k return in cash. In my mind redeeming the points for anything else is a waste

    I just did a search for a business flight one way to Narita in Japan and it comes up as 900k points.

  If you don’t have another use for them with better redemption (I.e flights) then it seems a reasonable use of points.

  As mentioned above the sea salt colour is less points.

  I haven't seen this Breville machine before, but it seems like a lot of money. What features are you paying for? Does it have dual boilers etc? I have been using a Rancilio Silvia the last 12 years and it was about the same price.
