I also decided to jump in on the deal, right after Roaste increased the price. At the end I was able to get the previous advertised price, but with no additional discounts. Maybe I should have just dealt with Tom but thought I should support Roaste as well. Anyway, I kept reading that the K10 is a quiet grinder but mine is slightly louder than my SJ and both are used without the hopper. The Wega 6.8A's sound has more low frequency components. I don't have a sound pressure meter but the sound has to be louder than the 62-65 dB a few posters quoted on this site. How quiet is your 6.8A? Mine has a manufacturing date of 01/2007 so it is a very early version, I think.

Btw, it's very easy to remove the autofill connection after you removed the black plastic box and finger guard. Remove the bottom cover and you will see the 2 black wires coming from the black box. One of the wires connects to the On/Off switch and the other one connects to a brown wire. Disconnect both black wires and connect the brown wire that you just disconnected and connect it to the vacated connection of the other black wire on the On/Off switch. Carefully pull down the wires from the black box, wrap up the exposed connectors with electrical tape the heat shrink tubing and tie wrap it neatly underneath.
