Hi wattgn, thanks for the tips.
I thought your comment was pretty funny. You see, I used to have pretty eccentric OCD (probably still do). When I was around 10 or 12, I couldn't bring myself to enter a room without flicking the light switch on and off an even number of times. An odd number was out of the question (it would also usually need to be a multiple of ten, or else my whole life would collapse). Match that!
Clumping is not (yet) something I'm overly concerned about (whether I should be is another matter entirely) - although it does seem to keep numerous coffee snobs awake at night.
Haha that's probably because you're a sensible, practical person - whereas I am not. Having said that, I figure any grinder I choose will need stripping and cleaning at periodic intervals. The way I see it, my combined outlay (espresso machine + grinder) will be fairly significant, so I don't see the point of skimping on the grinder.
Call me a laughably misguided newbie, but I don't want to compromise on the flavour in my cup. I'd rather shoot straight to the top, and then deal with the consequences.

I personally just like simple grinders that are very easy to strip and clean, robust and reliable.
