Alright, so I went through with it and bought the Holzforma mill from China, via Ebay. Total cost was 137USD shipped. I took some measurements to help with the comparison and will provide you with my general impression of each of the pieces.
Warning! I had to go back and directly attach the images as they do not show up for some app viewers when just linking to my album photos, so there are A LOT of relatively large photos. Low bandwidth beware.
This is the full package, laid out with all the pieces. Other than the mill frame it comes with a scrench (Phillips head), a small open ended wrench, a little synthetic zipper bag to hold the tools, and some cute tiny gloves. I have since relinquished the gloves to my Wife, nothing really to report there.
All the comparison posts are described with the Granberg on the left and Holz on the right. Keep in mind that the Granberg mill has been used several times over the past three years, so there is some schmu and wear on those parts.
Enjoy!
