The two mills are slightly wider and, therefore, when grinding heavy in his hand as my other, but the dosing is very convenient and they are not too large for the shelf + too heavy for use. BUT: after about 6 months, I've found an extreme and more expectant cracking from the inside during normal use with pepper in two mills - and (5 Stars at Amazon: trouble unwinding after about 1 year after the date of purchase !!) returned them.
