Niche Coffee Grinder - anyone buying

[kg648]

Looks like today Niche released the next batch of grinders for sale... damn James Hoffmann for inspiring . I have been after one for a few months, It looks like they are all sold out now, but they went one for sale @3pm today.

Has anyone got one? anyone have any views? or negatives?

I'm ditching my recently purchased Sage Pro grinder, and getting this.

What's your thoughts on the Sage Pro?

It's a good grinder for it's money, I'd say poor for espresso - think it's trying to do too much of a catchall. I found the results were too inconsistent even under the same settings, it also retains too much coffee in the grinder. This was my first real step in to a grinder, however seeing and trying others I know there is a lot better to have in the end result. clearly I can't compare the two, as the pro is 200, the niche is 500. My biggest frustration was consistent results.

It might be good for some people, but it's not for me.
