Like other tools that look similar, it can be difficult to justify spending
much more money on one model over another. After all, they both grind
pepper. Differences come in the ability to hold up for many years, the ease
of grinding larger quantities, the feel in the hand, a lot of other factors
that may or may not be of importance to you.

Take a look at two bottles of liquor side by side, one costing $10, the
other costing $40. They look the same right? Only when you actually taste
them can you tell the difference and understand why some people are willing
to pay more for quality.
