Compak K10 WBC vs Mazzer Robur

Man, this is a hard one. We are currently trying to decide which grinder we should get for the cafe and it has brought me to choose between the obvious 2 heavy weight contenders, The Compak K10 WBC vs the Mazzer Robur.

I believe that the Robus has a strong following in cafes all around Melbourne, it has proven itself in battle over and over again and has come out tops each time. But in the recent years, Compak grinders have been gaining popularity as well. Especially with the introduction of the K10 and Compak's strong marketing in the World Barista Championship has seen it slowly becoming the grinder of choice.

Ok, here's the dilemma, do I want a trusted workhorse which I've used before or a hot shot newbie that is all the rage at the moment. And if I do decide to join the Barista Comps next year or the year after, it'll be good to train myself on the compulsory grinder (K10 WBC).

Well, that's it. I've read reviews after reviews and I think I've decided to go with the Compack K10 WBC. After all it's cheaper than the Robur, and from what I read http://www.home-barista.com/forums/titan-grinder-project-can-it-beat-mazzer-robur-t4499.html I think I've made a good choice.
Tell me I've made the right choice?
