I use my KitchenAid mixer with the grinder attachment. I have done very large quantities, and it does well with them. I grind probably 5-6 deer per season with it, and it has held up like a champ. I also make links with it using the stuff attachment. Plus, with the mixer, you can mix the sausage too, all with one machine. The money you would spend on a grinder you can get the kitchen-aid and attachments.
