Nuova Simonelli MDX grinder?

Grinders are one of the keys to exceptional espresso. Discuss them here.

I currently have a Rocky and am looking to upgrade. Have the chance to get a good deal on a Nuova Simonelli MDX grinder but haven't found much information on this on HB or other forums. Curious that it's in the similar price point to MACAP and Mazzer but isn't usually mentioned.

Anyone have any experience with this grinder? Is it a sure bet that it will outperform the Rocky at least or should I wait for a deal on a Mazzer? It appears that I can get parts for it.

I haven't used one, but have seen it in a shop in Ohio. With 64mm burrs I would expect it to be in the Mazzer Super Jolly class. Stepless worm adjustment too. I think you may be able to use the Rossi RR45 burrs, but ask your parts supplier first.
