If you're 100% sure it's not going to be used for espresso, here's a quality grinder for little money. Plus it has the Costco guarantee of satisfaction or your money refunded.
In the long run, I think you'd be better served by the KA. Burrs can be replaced for ~$30 in a matter of minutes, parts should always be available, and it'll outlive most of us (especially that ol' Texan)
I'd bet most of those grinders around $100, i.e., Saeco, Baratza, Capresso, etc., if you took them apart you see the same motor, the same burrs, the same plastic. But I'd shop around and wait for a deal on the KA; if you're going to pay more than $150 for one you may as well spend a little more and get something even better.
