What intrigues me about the lem big bites is its supposed to stop the "bounce" and minimize stomping. I have yet to find a video of before & after comparing it.


I think you're overthinking it. If you can get a screaming deal on the older model, I'd say go for it the differences between the older and newer probably aren't that big. The LEM have always gotten good reviews, so even if the big bite are better, it's probably not that big of an improvement where someone owning the older model should sell it to get the new model.

Link to LEM #12 refurb

There are other #12 grinders that are also very nice. Gander, Cabelas, Weston, Bass Pro has a house labeled LEM, etc.

Or, just use the #8 you bought and be done with it.
