Coote Grinders

[Franky]

First post here ( although I have been lurking awhile )
Been making knives awhile and am thinking about a nice grinder. Been using the search engine here ALOT and kind of narrowed my search to the coote and kgm's.
Question is what is wrong with the cootes that would make it a BAD choice. See alot of folks shy away from really recommending them but no one really having a reason or reasons that I've run across yet. A coote would fit my budget alittle better but I don't want something I'm not gonna be happy with either
So what are the really bad faults (are there any) of this grinder for knife making and general shop use? Whats wrong with a coote grinder that makes it "not as good" as others?
Give me the LOW DOWN on the coote grinders
