the Magnum vs the Magnum Plus - on the Unicorn website, one of the
advantages they claim for the Plus over the regular is that the larger
size gives better leverage and ease of use when grinding. Could anyone
who has used both comment on this? I doubt that the ability to hold
years worth of peppercorns would be a big seller for me, but if the
Magnum is somewhat awkward to use when grinding lots of pepper... (My
late lamented Turkish grinder was great at cranking out quantity,
unfortunately with a very narrow range of grinds)
