No experience of it but crusher and a hopper too at that price is good value  :)

I saw this on the HBC site yesterday, and had to laugh at the name..  ;D ;D

The only things that would concern me with this would be "oil impregnated brass bushings",not sure if that would be an issue though ? ;D

Looks like the same one I have. It works a treat with a good even crush and good throughput. If it is the same the 'blue' is just the blue peel off protector on the aluminium.

It looks like the Cereal Killer but I prefer their name though :) But if it doesn't come with a base then you'd have to build one

I have the Cereal Killer, very happy. I think I bought it here (http://www.homebrewing.org/Cereal-Killer-Grain-Mill_p_2310.html). Used it for 40+ brews and no complaints.  I managed to get the crush down to the right size by using a feeler gauge. I bought it in the US but I assume Halfords etc. will have them available.
