Apparently it's not really "End game". I did a lot a research when I started a couple years ago and it's what seemed like the best for my budget. I can see myself sticking with it for the duration so long as it keeps grinding.
Edit: I've been grinding mostly light roast. Just need to adjust a little if I buy darker beans.
Ive got a Niche Zero paired with a Silvia and haven't had any issues. Perhaps my palate isn't as developed for coffee, but I think it handles light roast just fine.
It’s a decent grinder, but it is not nearly as good as the expensive ones you’re referencing.
I’ve used a monolith and a niche extensively and the monolith is way better. No need to WDT with monolith because there are no clumps. More importantly I went head to head with the same beans same machine you can immediately tell the difference.
That said, the $2k+ grinders are a wild investment. Only probably worth it if you’ve already invested in a pretty expensive espresso machine and want to get the most out of it.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
