Default Grain Mill... Cereal Killer or Barley Crusher MaltMill?

I'm looking to purchase a grain mill. It looks like you can get the Cereal Killer from Homebrewing.org for $89 and free shipping. Is that a good grain mill or should I spend more and get the Barley Crusher MaltMill? Is the Cereal Killer a good value? Is there a big difference? Thanks!

I just got my Cereal Killer this week and I struggled with the same thing. I have not used it yet but there was another thread that talked about it at length and the general thought that the Cereal Killer was a very good value and work very well. Is it better then the Barley Crusher (or just as good) that I am not sure. Only time will tell.

I have a crankandstein 2s and love it. Know you were not looking at that brand but thought i would throw is out there. Some people get the 2a for easy adjustment but the crus for the 2a is great at the normal setting.

I have a monstermill mm2 which I think is great. I got lucky because my mom went into the LHBS and that was the model that they had and she bought it for me for Christmas. I think the lhbs's in store mill is a maltmill and the monstermill is definately higher quality. You'll surely spend 2x as much as the cereal killer so if budget is the biggest concern I'd go cereal killer if I just wanted a really good mill I'd probably go for the mm3 (3 roller monster mill)
