LOL - I just made that EXACT same upgrade last weekend.
Polls apart is all I can say. As good as the KG100 was (still is - its in transit to my family in Adel to use as thier first ever grinder, they drink plunger and drip so it suit them fine) its a whole other world moving to the EM0480. Welcome to a real coffee grinder it should say on the box.

Considering I paid $169 for the KG100 less than a year ago (still retails for about $150) and got the Sunbeam EM0480 for $175. , there is just no comparing the two grinders at virtualy the same price point. And the EM0480 looks cool. My 4yo nephew thought it was laboratory microscope when he saw it.
I know that people with Rocky and Lux and Mazer etc are probably sniggering and thinking the same thing about comparing EM0480 and those beasts, but for the price of well under $200, the EM0480 is the best out there in the retail grinders. If nothing else, the compartive weights should give you some idea of the extra build quality. KG100 1.4kg, EM0480 2.6kg. Solid.
My advice, grab yourself an EM0480 and you wont be dissapointed...
Ill probably be gushing the same way about my next upgrade grinder in comparison the EM0480
But thats a long way off for now...
