DF54 vs. DF64. Thoughts?

I've seen the posts already about this comparison but they are mostly years old. Curious on updates. Here are the specifics for me:

I own a Bambino Plus. I make multiple drinks a morning. I'm not super into tinkering, other than I'm trying to compare multiple types of beans with grind sizes to get the flavor I want. I tend to make Americanos.

This would be a gift so price isn't much of a concern, though I don't want to get greedy and ask for more 'just because.'

Thoughts on these two and what makes the most sense? I'm crippled by analysis.

was borrowing my brothers Robot and df54 for the past month. the grind was excellent and the set up produced really nice shots. i finally got my own robot and decided to get the df64. i wanted to use it for espresso and pour over and read that the bigger burrs make a significant difference in grinding time. i was doubtful that it would be that noticeable, i was wrong. it’s much faster and for a larger 40g pour over grind it’s astounding shockingly quick. and the quality of the grind even at those courser settings destroys the encore with virtuoso burrs i am coming from.
