Get the big brass one... you will not be disappointed:

It will be the last pepper mill you buy, and Chef's Catalog has the
best price. The big brass one is much heavier and is a larger diameter
than the smaller ones with the little flanged base so it will not tip
over very easily. I never leave mine standing erect at the table
anyway, the male dinner guest get intimidated (hehe), just lie it down.
It's so easy to operate that the gals don't need any assistance from
the guys, and the gals kinda enjoy wrapping their fists around that
girth while pumping that big thing. <g>
