I have such a mill. And yes, there is a bit too much fine powder coming
out of it, although it can be reduced if the mill is correctly adjusted.
As such I don't worry too much if my mash doesn't run 100% clear - some
of the stuff will settle with the trub when boiling, and the rest with
the yeast. Then again, I am not even trying to brew very clear
pilsners...
The that irritates me most with that mill is that I had troubles
connecting it to my electric drill - I am far too lazy to crank it by
hand. Finally managed to make a suitable coupling with a 14mm drill bit,
an old leather belt, two hose clamps, 10m thread, gaffa tape, and some
help from the late Storm P.

They say it is a better construction, but I have no experience with it.
Maltbazar has some good mills too, I've heard.
Remember,
it will be beer anyway
