Your counter decides it.
If the counter is tight: the Barista Express Impress. If you have the height: the Barista Pro.
Between 12.2 in (31 cm) and 13.1 in (33.3 cm) only the Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine (BES876) clears. At 13.1 in (33.3 cm) or more the height decides nothing, and under 12.2 in (31 cm) neither of them fits. (manufacturer)
We are not picking one. Your counter picks it, and yours is the measurement missing from this page.
Measure from the counter to the highest point, with any lid or hopper closed.
