Gryphon vs. Superstar II grinders

I'm thinking about purchasing my first grinder and I like some aspects of the Gryphon, in theory, anyways. But, no one around here carries them and hence, I don't get to try before I buy. Google was full of people who liked the Inland or Glastar they owned, but I only saw one post from a Gryphon owner and it didn't address my concerns about it.

Not enough difference in price point or bit quality to matter to me.

The only real differences I see is that water is gravity fed from above the work platform on the Gryphon so the water delivered is cleaner, the Gryphon is described as "lighter" than other grinders, and it has a 1/5 HP DC motor compared to the Superstars' 1/12 HP AC motor.

I'm not too concerned about the power aspect between these grinders, since I'll just be cleaning up some glass edges with it.

I am a bit concerned about the grinder "walking" if it is lighter than the other grinders I've used.

I also wonder if the water "tower" delivers water at a greater or less volume than the typical set up, and if it is sufficient enough to clear the work platform of bits of glass.

Any input on these issues from those of you who have tried the Gryphon?
