"Hi Simon,
Thanks for your interest in Baratza grinders. It looks like you've done your research! The improvements we have made to the Sette 270Wi vastly increase longevity and performance. Not only is the software completely re-done, but the gearbox went through some*major design changes. Several other components have been upgraded/improved to improve longevity and overall performance as well.*
So far, the Sette 270Wi has been on the market in the U.S. for around six months, and we've only had great feedback. We haven't seen any of the same issues that we experienced with the 270W.
I hope this gives you confidence in your purchase! Also, all Baratza grinders purchased from an authorized seller come with at least a 1 year warranty, provided by the importer. In your case, the importer in Australia is Five Senses. If you have any issueswith your grinder, Five Senses is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.*
Please let me know if you have any further questions!
Best,"

So excited... Got a couple of grinders to sell so they'll be up at some stage. I'll post a new thread with my experience with it. Have you guys needed to run many kilos of beans through to season the burrs at all? I'm thinking I might put through half a kilo to a kilo or so.. Being careful in respecting the duty cycle hehe.
That is really awesome to hear, even more excited now. And I guess it won't need any seasoning maybe.. will scour the threads on the 270W version to see what those guys did
