I've been using the "european" for several years now.  It works pretty 
well on about any size seed.  I was disappointed in the construction.  A 
collar around the shaft in the seed hopper was loose and dangling on 
the shaft when I received it.  Johnny's couldn't seem to comprehend the 
problem from my description and asked for photos.  As if they had not 
seen the problem before.  I gave up on them.  Most all the paint has 
come off in great flakes.  The surface was obviously not well prepped; 
was probably oily when they painted.
