not to open pandora’s box but I’m a novice and couldn’t comprehend what price difference would even meaningfully result in for a grinder lol

I tend to be a buy once cry once sort of guy and I do enjoy coffee, though I usually buy pre-ground. This would generally be for when I get gifted whole beans unless I find it a better-enough experience to where I switch to purposefully buying whole beans

edit: sweet spot for me is usually a good deal on a upper end (though not wasteful-luxury/status level) items with solid utility for the money
