Grinder or Mills

I'm looking to buy some good quality grinders to mill down my sun dried chilli blends. Once my chillies are dried I blitz then down for storage. I would like to find a good grinder (such as a pepper mill) that would me get a really fine grind. My plan is to load the grinders with various blends of chilli for sale in my area.
 
Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
 
here is an example of two grinders that are pretty good

and here is a smaller 1 that cost much less, but is still pretty good and it too has a removable stainless grinding cup as well for easy cleaning
(this is the 1 i use for my small batch grinds and seasoning blends, i can get my dried chilies as fine as talc powder with this)

These are just the first examples that came up when i searched for these two grinders. you may be able to find them at a better price elsewhere.
 
 
I hope i have been of some help :)

I find that the drier the pods the finer the grind.  
 
I have been using this one now for about 30-40 grinds and does well and is cheap.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4KLW3Q?keywords=spice%20grinder&qid=1448204602&ref_=sr_1_11&s=kitchen&sr=1-11
 
The best part about this grinder (and the ones recommended by Guatemalan Insanity Pepper) is that it comes with 2 stainless steel removable cups with 2 types of blades, one coffee grinder style and the other a blender type.  
 
I wouldn't say it's "quality" but it's a good option to look at.  You can buy several of these for the price of fancier ones and do about 1 cup of powder at a time.
 
Good luck!
 
Two cents on any style, burr or blade - make sure the actual grinding mechanism allows for free movement of the contents, no matter what shape those contents are. Some burr coffee grinders have a small, raised covering over the burr chute. This allows round objects (like coffee beans) to go in, but somethings less than round, like dried peppers, are mostly prevented from going in. Some large blade-style grinders have similar issues. Basically, make sure the actual grinding mechanism is very open.
 
My method is to 1st place the dried peppers in a food processor to break them down and then into my burr grinder to make the powder. I know it is 2 steps but I'm very satisfied with the texture of the powders from this method. My grinder has 14 different settings from coarse to extra fine.
