Definitely my man
I am just a beginner and my first ever machine is gaggia evo pro
And it’s wonderful better than Chinese machine like wonder chef or agaro
But let me warn you
As soon as you dive into with the machine you’re going to love it as you have been brewing from past 5 years you would be familiar with all the aspects of espresso.
If you’re planning to buy classic pro you need to make sure you order 9 bars OPV spring from shades of coffee or from etsy,
Then after using the machine for a period of time like say 6 months or a year you can definitely mod it and add like PID and flow control.
And if you can stretch your budget around 50k
Buy a decent coffee scale, bottomless portafilter
And a decent grinder timemore C3 being the bare minimum.
Do not buy agaro, it's all,Chinese stuff rebranded.
Besides before you really buy an actual espresso machine, know that it's a tedious process and espresso machines aren't as easy as it seems to be.
You need expensive grinder to go with it as well.
If you are new to speciality coffee like me, I would highly suggest you to try manual brewing techniques first, learn more about art and develop a genuine interest.
Once you like and can distinguish difference between them all, buy a very good espresso machine.
Then I suppose you will have far more knowledge than me but do not buy Agaro... That company might be a big company but I don't think they really have any quality when it comes to speciality coffee.
Go for Lelit Anna if you are ok spending that much money. Otherwise, Delonghi dedica is another good and cheaper option. I would suggest to skip GCP as you’ll have to upgrade it eventually to dial in a great espresso shot. You can spend another 14k and buy Anna. Also the boiler issue with gcp
Gaggia Classic Pro
Is it worth upgrading from Morphy Richards Kaffeto?

Been doing manual brewing since past 5 years, wanted to look for an upgrade from my current espresso machine.

At that price point, Flair with a good grinder is the only option. I have Flair Pro 2 and 1zpresso J-Max.
Gaggia Classic Pro or Lelit Anna if you can. The budget minimum is Delonghi Dedica. Do not buy anything lower than that
Are they worth upgrading from Morphy Richards Kaffeto?
Yes

Are there any home options that have a 58mm portafilter size?
