Not your pro-level photography, Ian, but here it is:

The vibe pump is noisy. I have learned to love the rotary so this is a small con for me. Taste wise I don't think there is a whole lot of difference between vibes or rotaries. But it is noisier. Perhaps some more damping would help.

This allows me to lock (obviously) but still feel some pressure. I like this "full" (but not over-- ?) dose because I can grind a shade courser. Our different estimates on dose-by-weight might be accounted for by variations in basket size or . . .? I'd like to hear from others on this weight for doubles.
