Should I get a DF54 or DF64 Gen 2?
The DF54 has a smaller and more compact form factor. It's ideal for limited bench top spaces. If you're looking for affordability, quality and versatility, the DF54 may be best.
The DF64 Gen 2 on the other hand offers, increased speed and power, a larger grind range, and greater opportunities for customisation and experimentation with a large range of after-market burr options.
