I have the Magnum and a couple Williams-Bounds battery operated mills. The Magnum really puts out the pepper quickly. If you need alot of pepper, like a tablespoon, it'll do it for ya. It is easy to fill, and holds about 6 oz. at a time. If both hands are free and clean, it's my preferred mill. The battery operated ones grind an average amount of pepper, but the one-handed operation can be very convenient much of the time. They are difficult to fill, and don't hold more than 1/4 C. Just some thoughts to consider.
