Well I just pulled the trigger on a Monster Mill 2-2.0 the other day, cant wait to get it, this was after reading just about every thread I could find about every mill.
It seemed to win out for several reasons, 1= longevity I wanted a mill that would out live me
2= very adjustable I want to be able to crush corn if I get the notion, without having to purchase another mill.
3= 1/2" drive shaft, beefy is better lol and the local hardware store has 1/2" pulleys in stock.
4= 2" rollers, once again the beefy thing, I read several post about people having some issues with 1 1/2" rollers not feeding the grain on some mills (didn't want to deal with that)
5=Its overkill for me, I like overkill
Edit; 6= Im hoping to go to all grain batches soon (BIAB) and Im tired of crushing grain by hand on a cookie sheet with a 32oz beer bottle.
Please feel free to post why you got a Monster Mill 2-2.0 instead of a 1 1/2" roller mill or any other mill, or if you have had feed problems with your mill, I thought Id edit after seeing 33 views and not any reply's.
I hope this post helps someone else out that is thinking about getting a mill, I will update after I use the mill.
Cheers
