Your choice of grinders is dependent on your general desired usage.  

The Lido 2 is heavier than Lido 3, and we designed it as a home grinder that can travel.   It is a full range grinder, but some users may find dialing in the espresso range challenging.

The Lido 3 is designed as a travel grinder that can be used at home.   It is a full range grinder, but some users may find dialing in the espresso range challenging.

The Lido E was designed specifically for coffee enthusiasts who intend to use the grinder mostly for espresso or finer grinding levels.   It is a full range grinder.  Some users may find the fine thread resolution challenging in the coarse range.
