Hi All,
 
    I bet this has been debated before but I couldn't find it on line so
    what's the opinion out there? 

    I've owned 2 Durstons. One was a bargain because someone put a nail
    thrugh it and it had a goove, and the other was too small a 100mm and
    the rollers had mill marks on them. I have now saved up for a 120-130
    mm combo. I have seen a Cavallin locally for $750 and it seems to be
    the set up I want. All things being equal it has 65mm diameter
    rollers as compared to Durstons 60mm for the 120-130mm size-which is
    a plus especially compared to the 50mm dia. on the 100mm mills. The
    overall finish of the Durstons impresses me more as the Cavalin has
    some plasitic but we're talking dust sheild here so it's not
    important. 


    But have any of you with more experience put these mills through
    there paces and have strong opinions one way or another? This is
    basically a major purchase for me and I'd like to get it right
    finally.
