Both are prosumer-tier machines, so neither is a clear step up — pick on boiler design and features rather than prestige. The Breville Barista Express BES870 uses a fast-heating thermoblock while the Lelit Anna PL41TEM uses a single boiler; that drives how fast it heats and whether you can steam and brew at once.

The Breville Barista Express BES870 is MAP-priced (everyone lists the same number), while the Lelit Anna PL41TEM shows real retailer variation — it can be worth waiting for a dip. Remember the all-in cost: the Breville Barista Express BES870 has a built-in grinder (ready to brew near $620), whereas the Lelit Anna PL41TEM still needs a separate grinder, pushing a complete setup to about $1120.
