minimum dose size?

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Baratza Encore + Burr = Virtuoso+?

From reading some reviews, the main performance difference between the Encore and Virtuoso+ is the burrs.

It actually looks like they have this burr in common: https://shop.baratza.com/ring-burr-holder-3

So, if you add the M2 Cone Burr (https://shop.baratza.com/cone-burr-2) to the Encore, are you close to matching performance (or at least grind consistency) of the Virtuoso+?

I understand that the Virtuoso+ has a more powerful motor and a digital timer. For my use case (brewing a single cup in my Aeropress usually), the grind itself is my biggest concern.

I currently have a Capresso Infinity, which has served me well for some years. I have no doubt that the Encore or Virtuoso would increase the range of grind size, but I am curious if they would really improve the consistency of fine grinds significantly.

Does the Virtuoso+ have a more securely and precisely mounted cone burr (to minimize runout between the burrs)?
