How is Baratza Encore ESP as grinding machine for espresso? (self.coffee)

Hello again, After getting Gaggia Classic Pro Evo in August 2023, I have been using pre ground coffee from my local coffee shop.

I am planning to get Baratza Encore ESP to pair with my GCP since the grinder is currently on sale for like 10% off on Retail price.

Wanted to know if Encore ESP would be a good choice?

Typically you can compensate for the lack of micro adjustments by varying the dose. E.g. of the next finer step is a bit too fine, drop 0.5-1g from the dose to balance the flow rate. Of course you need a scale for that but I assume you'd want to have a scale anyway, even if it's a more general cooking scale. Am I wrong?
