I was recently over for dinner at a friends house and used his Peugeot Mill
and *that's* what I really want. (very smooth, agressive, high-output).

If someone can point me to a mechanism (top or bottom grind) with truly
exceptional performance, I would be more than willing to pay for that
quality.

A tip that's been offered before is to keep your eyes peeled at thrift
stores and yard sales for grinders with Peugeot or other high-quality
mechanisms. Pull the works out and turn a new housing.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
