Never used the Cabelas line. There are lots of good links/information here:

When I went to buy mine I researched it pretty hard. I am a tightwad and don't want to let go of money just for the heck of it. Lots of the grinders out there you have to be careful of because they have plastic gears in them. The one I bought is actually Chinese, but it came very highly reccommended from several of the sausage sites. It has a higher wattage motor than most of the grinders in its class, and it has all metal gears. It has run well for me and done everything I have asked of it, it is supposedly a very durable machine. I paid $185 for it, and it is a #12 size. Tasin 108I believe is what it is. If you have $400-$500 bucks there are better machines, but quite frankly, I don't use one THAT much. I do 2-3 deer a year, and it grinds plenty fast for me.
