Nutrimill Harvest vs. Mockmill 100
I have been researching and narrowed my options down to these two mills (Nutrimill Harvest & Mockmill 100). Does any one have any opinions about either that can help me make the final decision of which one to purchase?

i love my Mockmill 200 and say you can't go wrong with the 100 either.
After I bought a Mockmill 100 I sold my Nutrimill. There’s no turning back. With the Mockmill, you can grind directly into a bowl, no time-consuming emptying and brushing flour out of the mill. You can also produce coarser grinds with the Mockmill , if desired.
The one thing to keep in mind with your Mockmill: first turn it on, then pour in the grains. Otherwise, it stalls.

I never turn mine on first before pouring in the grains and have never had it stall before. You may want to reach out to them and ask them if that is a defect. I have the 200,so maybe it's an issue with the smaller motor.
It may well be that the smaller engine has that issue. The instructions say that the setting is so sensitive it will only start when empty.
That is probably the issue but not one to deter purchasing.
I would also mention that the Mockmill is smaller and takes up less space which for smaller kitchens is a plus. As Karen said you also have much more control over the size of the grind.
I just was doing all this research. I was all set on getting the Komo (one of their cheaper ones) when the MockMill 200 went on sale. Everyone raves about both these mills Some people are loyal to the Komo mills, but for the price and rave reviews of the mockmill, I decided to go the route of the mockmill. I'll be grinding my first batch tomorrow.
I watched a really good video about mills while I was deciding. None compared the mockmill as it's newer, but it was made by the same designer who made the komo mill, so I figured it was a safe bet, especially with all the great reviews. Yes, it's plastic housing versus plastic housing, but the plastic is eco plastic and better for the planet and the housing is purely aesthetics. I don't plan to keep it on the counter, so I'm not willing to spend extra for the wood. Plus the mockmill can grind a finer corn flour - SOLD.
Here's a video I watched that helped me narrow mills down while deciding: It's 6 years old, so not super current. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sJNijrNrf8
Hanseata, when you say you thought the Mockmill was better than your Nutrimill, I assume you had the impact version of the Nutrimill, right? The Nutrimill Harvest is a clone of the Komo, with a bamboo exterior. . https://www.amazon.com/NutriMill-Harvest-Stone-Grain-Mill/dp/B00OGIXLUI/ref=asc_df_B00OGIXLUI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167155690034&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15182580980549548922&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008533&hvtargid=pla-503005143112&psc=1
The standard Nutrimill is an impact machine, and as you point out, it doesn't let you adjust the coarseness of the flour very much https://www.amazon.com/NutriMill-Classic-760200-Speed-Minute/dp/B001UI37N8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nutrimill+grain+mill&qid=1564187101&s=home-garden&sr=1-3
I called Breadtopia and asked the difference between the 100 and 200. It has to do with speed, not how the machine actually grinds the grain. Since speed isn't a concern for me, I went with the 100 and have't looked back.
